In both discussions, the corruption and looting in Zim came up. And the fact that many politicians (including those in South African and around the world) have amassed ridiculous amounts of money.<\/p>\n<p>But this isn&#8217;t limited to politicians. The outgoing CEO of PPC was paid R17 million. The CEO of Checkers got a R100 million bonus last year. And then there&#8217;s the likes of Jeff Bezos, who&#8217;s $100billion fortune is bigger than the GDP of 80 different countries including Kenya and Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n<p>And this raised the question for me&#8230;. <strong>When will it be enough<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p>Do these people really need that much money?<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong, money is important. But there comes a point where you have a completely unnecessary amount. For me, I need the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A place to live<\/li>\n<li>Access to transport<\/li>\n<li>Ability to afford my consumables of choice (food, drinks etc)<\/li>\n<li>Some clothes<\/li>\n<li>A holiday once a year<\/li>\n<li>Enough to support whatever family I might have<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And after that&#8230; there&#8217;s only so much I can buy. I cannot fathom how one would feel it necessary to amass billions of rands in wealth.<\/p>\n<p>The inequality in our world is getting larger. And maybe it&#8217;s time that the rich start becoming a little more enlightened.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Image was taken in Capri in 2015.
