South Africa: A Time for Change GRAPHIC NOVEL Background Summary Although South Africa is the most industrialized and most prosperous country in Africa, until recently, only a small minority of the population was able to benefit from the country s wealth. Most of the population, about 78 percent, is made up of people from black ethnic groups including the Zulu and Sotho who have been kept out of the mainstream since apartheid became law in 1948. Under apartheid, it was illegal for different races and ethnic groups to mix. Black South Africans were forced out of the cities and suburbs and sent to live in rural areas called townships. Most townships lacked basic services such as electricity and running water. People who came from non-european ancestry were not allowed to vote and could only hold menial jobs. Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Permission is granted to reproduce this page for classroom use. For nearly 40 years people around the world protested against the practice of apartheid. Many nations refused to trade with South Africa and discouraged their citizens from visiting the country or participating in sporting events against South African teams. Many black people in South Africa lost their lives in the struggle for freedom and many others were jailed for speaking out. Apartheid finally came to an end in 1991. In 1994, for the first time in history, white and black South Africans were able to vote in a national election. Nelson Mandela, a man who spent 27 years of his life in jail for speaking out against apartheid, was elected the country s first black president. This graphic novel follows two South African citizens, one black, one white, through a seemingly typical weekday that culminates in an extraordinary event in which both men, one for the very first time, cast their vote for a new president. Activities Comparing and Contrasting The Republic of South Africa, larger in area than the states of Texas and California combined, lies at the very tip of Africa. The country is bordered by two oceans and has a diverse physical structure. Have students create a map of South Africa that includes its major geographical features such as deserts, mountain ranges, rivers, lakes, forests, and the location of its major cities. Be sure to include the oceans and indicate bordering nations. Maps Ask the students to compare and contrast the images in the novel that show how the two South Africans live their lives. Look at jobs, homes, transportation, etc. Then have the students list their impressions on a sheet of paper that has been folded in half, with one side devoted to the lifestyle of the white South African and the other side devoted to the lifestyle of the black South African. When the students are finished, ask them to write a short paragraph explaining why the two lifestyles are so different and given a choice, which one they would prefer to live.
