Assignment 4 , 2024 s1
TEBOGO NDHLOVU
, ASSESSMENT 04:
FAIR'S FAIR
So, in assessment 2, we reflected on a particular case involving great wealth - Bob van
Dijk and his R 1.9 billion payout in 2018/2019. In assessment 3, we reflected on very
severe poverty and abuse in the supply chain of a global commodity - cobalt.
In this assessment we are going to think about the possibility that these two issues -
great wealth and great poverty - might be linked by focusing on the proposal in
Assessment 1 that:
“The wealth of a few depends on the poverty of many.”
To make this possibility really come alive though, we want you to consider two of the
questions in assessment 1 together:
"Of the top 10 wealthiest people (all men), eight are tech billionaires. Their net
worth is US$ 1.1 trillion or ZAR 22 trillion"
(To put this into a bit of perspective, the South African Government Employee
Pension Fund, South Africa's biggest asset owner has somewhere between ZAR 2
and ZAR 3 trillion.)
AND
"60% of the world's cobalt is mined in the DRC. Significant amounts of this is
mined under appalling conditions, often by child labourers."

the children under poor working conditions.

correct order.
Principle 1-Greatest Equal Liberty
“Each person is to have an equal right to the most extensive basic liberty compatible
with a similar liberty for others.” According to Rawls principle the kids working as cobalt
miners should have the same equal rights as of the top ten wealthiest people.it is not
okay that the liberty is favouring only the rich people while the child labours are excluded
and being denied the right to a good living. What is happening to the kids is pure child
abuse, they are working in poor unfavourable conditions to make other people rich. The
