Such was the impact of poet Ingrid Jonker that decades after her death in 1965, the late Nelson Mandela read her poem, The Child who Was Shot Dead by Soldiers at Nyanga, at the opening of the first democratic Parliament on 24 May 1994.

“The time will come when our nation will honour the memory of all the sons, the daughters, the mothers, the fathers, the youth and the children who, by their thoughts and deeds, gave us the right to assert with pride that we are South Africans, that we are Africans and that we are citizens of the world,” he said 20 years ago.

“The certainties that come with age tell me that among these we shall find an Afrikaner woman who transcended a particular experience and became a South African, an African and a citizen of the world. Her name is Ingrid Jonker. She was both a poet and a South African. She was both an Afrikaner and an African. She was both an artist and a human being.”

She had written the poem following a visit to the Philippi police station to see the body of a child who had been shot dead in his mother’s arms by the police in the township of Nyanga in Cape Town. It happened in the aftermath of the massacre of 69 people in Sharpeville, south of Johannesburg, in March 1960. They were marching to the police station to protest against having to carry passbooks.

What type of intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation did John have for coping with his disorder? for the movie a beautiful
NNADVOKAT [17]

<em>Intrinsic Motivation is a type of motivation wherein a person would behave in a way because he enjoys it not because he has something to gain financially or anything.  Extrinsic are focused on prized and rewards.</em>

<em>One of the examples of John's intrinsic motivation in the movie is he choose to see those characters that he encounters in his hallucinations but he did not interact with them anymore. He choose to see them because he enjoys their company around. but probably, he knows that they are just a part of his sickness but he did not talk to them because that is what he supposed to do. Those characters are not real and they are just a product of his mind. </em>

<em>As of extrinsic motivation, when he received a noble prize award and other recognition he knows that he should keep on doing and discover new things about math and formula which he was passionate about in spite of his sickness.  </em>
