1 Introduction
The Department of Trade and Industry (dti) published a policy paper named
‘South African Company law for the 21st century – Guidelines for Corporate
Law Reform’ 1 which envisaged the development of a ‘clear, facilitating, predict-
able and consistently enforced law’ to provide ‘a protective and fertile environ-
ment for economic activity’. Bill 61D of 2008 was assented to by the National
Assembly on 19 November 2008 and the Companies Act 2 was signed by the
President on 8 April 2009. Implementation, however, would be by proclamation
as determined in section 225. The Act contained numerous mistakes and on
22 December 2009, a so-called ‘rectification’ notice was published,3 listing
the mistakes to be addressed. The proposed regulations were also published 4
and comments were invited. A proposed Companies Amendment Bill was
published (electronically only, on the then Companies and Intellectual Property
Registration Office (CIPRO) and dti websites) on 27 July 2010, correcting
297 mistakes. The Companies Amendment Bill 40 of 2010 was published
in Government Gazette33695 of 27 October 2010 and Bill 40B of 2010 was
______________
