, QUESTION 1 (ESSAY) NATURE AND ASSESSMENT OF NON-
PATRIMONIAL LOSS AND DAMAGES FOR PATRIMONIAL LOSS

1.1.

To succeed in a claim for emotional shock, or psychiatric injury, under South
African law, certain elements must be proven by the plaintiff. These elements
are closely linked to the general principles of delictual liability and have been
shaped by both common law and judicial precedent. A delict is a civil wrong
that results in harm or loss, and to claim successfully, all five elements of a
delict must be present: conduct, wrongfulness, fault, causation, and harm or

plaintiff witnesses or hears of a distressing event, such as the death or injury
of a close relative. In the Komape case, the plaintiffs witnessed the aftermath
of their son’s tragic death when he drowned in a pit latrine at school. The
school's and government authorities' failure to ensure proper and safe
sanitation facilities amounted to the harmful conduct leading to the emotional
shock suffered by the plaintiffs(Reported case law).

2. Wrongfulness

Wrongfulness in delict refers to the breach of a legal duty not to cause harm.
In cases of emotional shock, the plaintiff must show that the defendant’s
conduct was wrongful, i.e., that the conduct was unreasonable and violated a
duty of care. The duty of care is often determined by the foreseeability of
harm. In the Komape case, the court had to consider whether the school
