SECTION – A : READING COMPREHENSION

(Questions 1 - 5) : Read the following passage carefully.
A few moments later we all lifted our eyes in awe as a spectacular array of South African jets,
helicopters and troop carriers roared in perfect formation over the Union Buildings. It was not
only a display of pinpoint precision and military loyalty to democracy, to a new government that
had been freely and fairly elected. Only moments before, the highest generals of the South
African defence force and police, their chests bedecked with ribbons and medals from days gone
by, saluated me and pledged their loyalty. I was not unmindful of the fact that not so many years
before they would not have saluted but arrested me. Finally a chevron of Impala jets left a
smoke trail of the black, red, green, blue and gold of the new South African flag.
The day was symbolised for me by the playing of out two national anthems, and the vision of
white singing 'Nkosi Sikelel-Afrika' and blacks singing 'Die Stem', the old anthem of the Republic.
Although that day neither group knew the lyrics of the anthem they once despised, they would
soon know the words by heart.
On the day of the inauguration, I was overwhelmed with a sense of history.
(Long walk to freedom)
Now, answer the following questions. 5 × 2 = 10 M
1. How did the military display during Mandela’s inauguration symbolize the changes taking
place in South Africa?
2. Why did Mandela consider his inauguration a significant moment in the history of South
Africa?
3. What did the military fly-past during the inauguration represent?

A) Military power over citizens

B) Loyalty to democracy and the new government
C) Celebration of war victories
