On 1 October, 2021 the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (DTIC) published the Companies Amendment Bill, intended to amend certain sections of the Companies Act of 2008 which came into being more than a decade ago, in May 2011 and introduce certain new sections. Some of the changes were first mooted in 2018, after which there followed a three-year period of interaction with interested parties.

What does the Companies Amendment Bill 2021 potentially mean for South African businesses?

Wits Business School cordially invites you to a webinar in which Professor Michael Katz, Chairperson of ENSafrica, Africa’s largest law firm specialising in corporate and commercial law, will discuss the implications of this milestone amendment bill. He will be looking at, among others:

• The policy issues on which the proposed amendments are based
• An analysis of the more important proposed amendments
• An evaluation of the likely impact of the proposed amendments, if adopted

Professor Katz, Honorary Professor at Wits University, will be in conversation with Professor Maurice Radebe, Head and Director of Wits Business School.

We look forward to hosting you!
