Question 1
Read the case study below and answer the questions that follow:

CASE STUDY: Rhulani

I am a sucker for horror and supernatural movies and a fan of metal rock and hip-hop music.
Being a South African teenager comes with its ups and downs.
Sometimes it becomes a living nightmare because there is not a single day that a person like me
does not face discrimination unless we spend our time indoors. This is because I was born with a
medical condition called albinism. Growing up and now as a teenager I’ve been called names such
as “mlungu”. People also point at me and will say things like I bath with milk. I once had an
emotional breakdown, but through the support of my parents, I overcame it.

1.1 Investigate the challenges faced by individuals with albinism and discuss the
impact these difficulties can have on their daily lives. [5]

1.2 Discuss the impact of Rhulani’s medical condition on his social life and interactions
with peers. How did he managed to maintain a positive outlook despite
facing discrimination? [ 5]

1.3 Identify two inclusive education policies aimed at safeguarding learners

with albinism in school environments. Explain how these policies can
effectively protect them.
