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.”

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."
Why is this important?
