Description

SUS1501 Assignment 5 Semester 2 MEMO | Due 28 August 2026. All questions fully answered. 1. BACKGROUND FACTS
 “In January 2026 Patrice Motsepe’s net worth was estimated to be US$ 4.2
billion.”
 “Even before COVID, one out of every five South Africans lived below the food
poverty line.”
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 Patrice Motsepe to have a net worth of US$ 4.2 billion. Some of us
thought this was a reflection of his business brilliance. Some of us thought that this was morally
outrageous.
