1. BACKGROUND FACTS • “In the first 6 months of 2024, the
six wealthiest men in South Africa gained on average R77
million per day each.” • “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
wealthiest six South Africans to earn on average R 77
million a day for the first six months of 2024. Some of us
thought this was a reflection of their business brilliance.
Some of us thought that this was morally outrageous. We
then 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. And in the final analysis we
considered the possibility that these two scenarios – great
wealth and great poverty – might in fact be linked. On the
basis of this, we debated whether the whole picture
looked ok. I think it is safe to say that most of us were left
feeling a bit uneasy about things. That is all well and good.
