Question 1




In the given context, Cargo Logistics Ltd is being investigated for potentially offering
financial aid to Mandla, a director and shareholder, to purchase its securities. The
Companies Act governs such transactions, setting limits on companies providing
support for share acquisition. This essay will analyse the specifics of the situation,
relevant legal regulations, and case law to determine if Cargo Logistics Ltd did
indeed provide financial assistance.


As per section 44 of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 in South Africa, companies are
generally prohibited from giving financial aid for the purchase of their shares, except
under certain conditions. Financial aid includes various forms like loans, guarantees,
and other assistance aimed at facilitating share acquisition.


In this scenario, Mandla intends to acquire more shares in Cargo Logistics Ltd but
lacks adequate funds. To address this, Cargo Logistics Ltd agrees to rent a
warehouse to Mandla for R1.2 million annually. Mandla subsequently uses a portion
of this rental income to purchase 10,000 shares in the company.


The key question is whether the rental payment from Cargo Logistics Ltd constitutes
financial aid for Mandla's share acquisition. Legal precedents and interpretations of
the Companies Act play a crucial role in understanding the nature of the transaction.
