Zimbabwe and Kenya are losing tourists for various reasons, and students candiscuss the possible reasons why these two African countries are goingbackwards in their tourism industries while the rest of the African countriesstudied here are growing.2. a) Just below 8%; 8%.b) July & October highest; May lowest.c) South Africa has a higher visitor rate in the summer months, probably due toits long coastal line. Many tourists visit the South African beaches. Botswanahas a higher visitor rate in June-July, the winter months, when their climate isfar more moderate than South Africa’s.Exercise 23.1 (Student’s Book page 409)2. The infant mortality rate was still on the increase from 2000 to 2004(62–70/1 000), but since then there was a sharp decrease from about70 per 1000 to only 15 per thousand. It might be due to improved healthcare in the rural areas; better after-birth care; young mothers being educatedon caring for their infants; better community involvement in looking afterthe babies; decline in teenagers falling pregnant.3. More teenage mothers in rural areas than urban areas; an increase in teenagemotherhood from 1971 to 1988, and there after a significant decrease to 2006.There are half as many urban mothers as there are rural mothers. Reason: mightbe that the urban teenagers are more street-wise or that they are more careful bynot having unprotected sex, better protected by their social groups that theymove in, whereas the rural teenagers might be more exposed to the risks ofunhealthy relationships which might contribute to early pregnancies.142 EXPLORING MATHEMATICS FORM 3
