Linking the question with the information from the internet. Several students struggled to link the question. E.g. students only discussed unemployment, causes of urbanization, pull and push factors but did not discuss the impact of urbanization on service delivery. Vice versa. Discussed the impacts of urbanization on biodiversity (You need to link this to the question, not just discuss it generally). • Defined what urbanization is (The question did not require this). • Several students did not read and understand what Question 2 required. Several students were discussing Sustainable Development Goals but failed to link it to Sustainable Urbanization. • Students copied from the UNDP document Sustainable Urbanization Strategies. • A lot of copying and pasting from the internet. As previously emphasized copy and paste is not research but plagiarism. • You cannot use bullet points when the questions says discuss

QUESTION 1

MITIGATION STRATEGIES TO COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS IN SOUTH
AFRICA

Introduction

South Africa has experienced increasingly severe weather events in recent years, including
prolonged droughts, intense heatwaves, and destructive floods such as the 2022 KwaZulu-
Natal disaster. These extreme events have disrupted infrastructure, damaged agricultural
production, and slowed economic development. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC, 2023) confirms that Southern Africa is warming faster than the global
average, increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme rainfall and drought cycles.
Recent attribution studies further demonstrate that anthropogenic climate change
significantly increased the severity of the Durban floods (Engelbrecht, 2025).
