MAIN ASPECTS

Candidates should include the following aspects in their response:

Introduction: Candidates should critically discuss the successes and challenges facing Tanzania and the Congo with specific reference to their economic, social and political development after gaining independence from colonial rule.

ELABORATION ECONOMY

  • The Congo and Tanzania inherited a single-product economy from their colonisers.
  • Tanzania followed a socialistic economic model.
  • Congo followed a capitalistic model.
  • Both countries struggled to develop their respective economies.
  • Nyerere adopted an African Socialism model outlined in the Arusha Declaration which led to the nationalisation of industries and land.
  • Its aim was to cut ties with Western countries and create self-sufficiency and self- dependency.
  • Society would be stable and free of economic inequalities.
  • Mobuto initially nationalised industries using the Zairianisation policy – which involved taking farms and businesses from the foreign owners who were replaced by Congolese.
  • When it failed due to lack of skills and poor management he adopted a capitalistic model and returned businesses to foreign owners.
  • Nyerere introduced Villagisation or Ujaama.
  • A rural community with farming/collective labour.
  • Lack of tools, water and management skills led to resistance which the police and military forces could not control.
  • This led to destruction and abandonment of fields.
  • Tanzania remained the poorest and most underdeveloped country.
  • Tanzania reduced corruption of government officials through the “Leadership Code”.
  • Both countries had to accept foreign aid and allow investments which Nyerere initially viewed as neo-colonialism.

SOCIAL CHALLENGES:

  • Both countries inherited a colonial education system that promoted Eurocentric values
  • Both countries were challenged by skills shortages; only a few technicians and engineers were available.
  • Both countries were taught European history and languages, the African content was regarded as inferior and not taught. Tanzania:
  • Promoted Swahili (local language) over English
  • Introduced a massive literacy campaign that saw illiteracy drop drastically (from 80% to 20%) between 1961 and 1981

  • Unlike Swahili in Tanzania, French remained the language of instruction in Congo. Africanisation:

Villagisation (Ujamaa) in Tanzania embraced traditional community values based on self-reliance

Zairianisation in Congo replaced experienced Belgian human resources with local people and replaced European names with local names, e.g. Congo to Zaire

Grade 12 - Topic 2 - Independent Africa

In 1884, at the Berlin Conference, the European powers carved up Africa amongst themselves. By 1914 all of Africa, except Liberia and Ethiopia, was under colonial rule. Today, African countries are politically independent of their former European masters.

Background and focus

Recommended reading:  Martin Meredith

This topic compares two forms of states that emerged from nationalist movements in the 1960s.

The Congo was used as a tool in the Cold War. This left a legacy that continues today.

Tanzania developed as a socialist state, implementing ideas of African socialism.

The focus is on the political, economic, social and cultural successes and challenges that countries

faced in Africa after independence, illustrated by the Congo and Tanzania.

The Scramble for Africa (or the Race for Africa)  was the proliferation of conflicting European claims to African territory during the New Imperialism period, between the 1880s and the start of World War 1.

Figure 1 : Africa before Independence                                Figure 2: Africa Today ( 28/01/2015)

http://www.saflirista.com/Colonial-Africa.png (colonised Africa ) http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/africapolitmap.jpg ( Independent Africa )

At the Berlin Conference (1883/4 – 1885), the major European countries carved up  Africa amongst seven major European states. (See above). Africa had been transformed from being an extension of seven European powers towards  full political independence . The first country to gain independence was Liberia  ( 26 / 07 / 1847 ) from Britain. The last country to gain independence was Eritrea  ( 24/05/1993) from Ethiopia.

The following is to be covered in this topic:

What were the ideas that influenced the  independent states?

This section includes different forms of government  (political ideologies and economies), such as :

1.African socialism,

It is worth mentioning that most African liberation movements were influenced, in varying degrees, by Marxist doctrine. So the amalgamation of what it meant to be African and a newly liberated citizenry; was, again, influenced by Marxist/ Communist doctrine. Post-independent Africa followed this ‘doctrinal’ trajectory by

Friedland and Rosberg's (1992)  attempt to summarize the three (3) main characteristics of African socialism, as follows:

a)·no private ownership of land

b)·no social classes

c)·no shirking of responsibility to cooperate (work)

2.  capitalism, democracy and,

3.  one-party states

The galvanising of the opposition to colonisation meant that there was a large degree of unanimity within

liberation movements across Africa. ‘One-party states’ quickly emerged. These states were characterised by an

extremely strong political party, perhaps with smaller, peripheral parties; that largely controlled the domestic

conditions in the country. This emergence, in itself, would create problems for these newly-independent

countries, in the future.

MAIN ASPECTS

Candidates should include the following aspects in their response:

Introduction: Candidates should critically discuss the successes and challenges facing Tanzania and the Congo with specific reference to their economic, social and political development after gaining independence from colonial rule.

ELABORATION ECONOMY

  • The Congo and Tanzania inherited a single-product economy from their colonisers.
  • Tanzania followed a socialistic economic model.
  • Congo followed a capitalistic model.
  • Both countries struggled to develop their respective economies.
  • Nyerere adopted an African Socialism model outlined in the Arusha Declaration which led to the nationalisation of industries and land.
  • Its aim was to cut ties with Western countries and create self-sufficiency and self- dependency.
  • Society would be stable and free of economic inequalities.
  • Mobuto initially nationalised industries using the Zairianisation policy – which involved taking farms and businesses from the foreign owners who were replaced by Congolese.
  • When it failed due to lack of skills and poor management he adopted a capitalistic model and returned businesses to foreign owners.
  • Nyerere introduced Villagisation or Ujaama.
  • A rural community with farming/collective labour.
  • Lack of tools, water and management skills led to resistance which the police and military forces could not control.
  • This led to destruction and abandonment of fields.
  • Tanzania remained the poorest and most underdeveloped country.
  • Tanzania reduced corruption of government officials through the “Leadership Code”.
  • Both countries had to accept foreign aid and allow investments which Nyerere initially viewed as neo-colonialism.

SOCIAL CHALLENGES:

  • Both countries inherited a colonial education system that promoted Eurocentric values

  • Unlike Swahili in Tanzania, French remained the language of instruction in Congo. Africanisation:

Villagisation (Ujamaa) in Tanzania embraced traditional community values based on self-reliance

Zairianisation in Congo replaced experienced Belgian human resources with local people and replaced European names with local names, e.g. Congo to Zaire

POLITICAL ASPECTS
