QUESTION 1
The principle of ubuntu, as articulated by Madala J in S v Makwanyane 1995 (6) BCLR 665
(CC), emphasizes social justice, fairness, and a sense of shared humanity. Ubuntu dictates
that individuals and entities should act in ways that benefit the broader community rather than
focusing solely on self-interest. This principle challenges the view that a company should
operate exclusively for shareholder profit, advocating instead for corporate responsibility and
community development.
In the case of Cool Coals (Pty) Ltd, the directors’ argument that the company should serve
only shareholder interests disregards its broader social obligations.
