The members of Anchor (Pty) Limited are dissatisfied with the manner in which the affairs of the company are being conducted by the directors

Accounting

The members of Anchor (Pty) Limited are dissatisfied with the manner in which the affairs of the company are being conducted by the directors. Two directors are therefore removed from office. The directors maintain that their removal is invalid, since the Articles provide that directors hold office for a period of five years and they were removed after only two years. They also contend that the appointment of the new directors is invalid, since the requirements of section 211 of the Companies Act were not complied with. These two directors approach you for legal advice.

Advise them on the procedures and requirements applicable to the appointment of new directors and the consequences if these requirements are not complied with.
