Observation

This was not a popular question. Candidates that attempted this question proved that they were simply reliant on their summary texts as they just gave a mere narration and did not understand the requirements of the question.

The required answers should include:

• • The theme of the erosion of traditional African values as a result of the clash with Western European culture through colonialism.
• • The clash between the African culture, symbolised by the anvil and European culture, symbolised by the hammer.
• • The transformation of the persona.
• • The persistence of the African culture.
• • The disposition of the African.

Candidates’ performance in this question was poor.
