QUESTION 1 (2 ANSWERS PROVIDED)

Companies Act 71 of 2008, section 58 shareholders are entitled to appoint a proxy to
represent them at a shareholders' meeting if they are unable to attend. This right allows a
shareholder to delegate their rights to another person who may attend, speak, and vote on
their behalf.



Section 58(1) of the Companies Act expressly states that a shareholder may appoint
another person as their proxy to participate in, speak, and vote at a shareholders’ meeting.
The proxy does not have to be a shareholder of the company. This means that Busi can
appoint any person she chooses to act on her behalf at the annual general meeting (AGM)
of Strada (Pty) Ltd.
