QUESTION 1A (2 ANSWERS PROVIDED)

The target audience for the text above includes families, students, and professionals who
are adversely affected by loadshedding. The purpose of the text is to highlight the significant
mental, emotional, and physical stress caused by loadshedding and to prompt
consideration of its pervasive impacts on daily life. As a distance learning student,
loadshedding severely disrupts my educational activities, as its unpredictability hampers
my ability to plan study sessions, attend virtual lectures, and complete assignments on time.
This lack of control exacerbates my anxiety and stress, as I'm often left unprepared for
sudden power outages. Being disconnected during critical learning periods amplifies
feelings of isolation and frustration. For children, the frequent power cuts can derail their
study routine and diminish their academic performance and interest. These interruptions
further strain familial relationships, as parental frustrations and children's academic
concerns often clash. The unpredictability and inconvenience of loadshedding cultivate a

The target audience for the text above appears to be the general public, including
families, working professionals, and distance learning students. It seeks to address
anyone affected by loadshedding, highlighting its wide impact on everyday life. The
purpose is to raise awareness about the mental and emotional toll of loadshedding,
urging readers to recognize and address its impact on their well-being and that of their
children. As a distance learning student, loadshedding significantly disrupts my daily
routine and mental health. Frequent power cuts interfere with my study schedule,
making it difficult to attend virtual classes or access online resources. The
unpredictability adds a layer of stress and anxiety, as plans often need to be changed
last-minute. This uncertainty can lead to feelings of frustration and helplessness,
exacerbating mental fatigue. The text, coupled with powerful visuals depicting the
chaos, reinforces the urgency of finding coping strategies to mitigate stress and
maintain productivity despite these challenges.
