1. BACKGROUND FACTS
“In the 2018/2019 financial year, Bob van Dijk, the CEO of Naspers earned a total
remuneration (salary, incentives and options) of R 1.9 billion.”
“60% of the world’s cobalt is mined in the DRC. Significant amounts of this is mined
under appalling conditions often by child labourers.”
“Of the top 10 wealthiest people (all men), seven are tech billionaires. Their net
worth is US$ 847 billion or ZAR 13 trillion!”
2. INTRODUCTION (written for me by Prof Eccles)
In assignments 2, 3 and 4 we have, as a group, reflected on the facts above. We debated whether it
was ok for Bob van Dijk to earn ZAR 1.9 billion in a single year. Some of us thought this was a
reflection of a job done excellently. Some of us thought that this was morally outrageous.
We debated the issue children working in appalling conditions in cobalt mines in the DRC. Although
most of us thought that this was a problem, we saw how other ethical interpretations were possible.
