Volgens artikel 71(1) van die Maatskappywet mag `n direkteur deur middel van `n gewone resolusie verwyder word, wat aanvaar is by `n vergadering van aandeelhouers deur die persone wat by magte is om stemreg uit te oefen in `n verkiesing van daardie direkteur. Artikel 71(2)(a) en (b) van die Wet meld egter die volgende:
Voordat die aandeelhouers so `n resolusie kan oorweeg, moet die betrokke direkteur kennis van die vergadering ontvang, met die redes soos opgeneem in die voorgestelde resolusie, sodat hy /sy óf `n verteenwoordiger`n redelike kans gegun word om `n behoorlike voorlegging te kan maak.
Aangeheg `n CIPC Kennisgewing, nr 74 van 2018, ter inligting. Lees ook verder in die Maatskappywet 71 van 2008, artikels 69, 70 en 71, in sake die diskwallifikasie van direkteure (www.justice.gov.za.)

MAY YOU REMOVE A DIRECTOR OF A COMPANY WITHOUT ANY REASON/S?
In terms of section 71 of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 a director may not be removed from the board of directors without a reasonable opportunity to make a presentation.
In terms of section 71(1) of the Companies Act 71 of 2008, a director may be removed by an ordinary resolution adopted at a shareholders meeting by the persons entitled to exercise voting rights in an election of that director. However, section 71 (2)(a) and (b) states the following:
Before the shareholders consider such a resolution, they are required to give notice in advance of the meeting to the director concerned with reasons for the proposed removal. That will give the director a reasonable opportunity to prepare a proper presentation in person or through a representative.
Attached CIPC Notice 74 of 2018 for further information. Also read the Companies Act 71 of 2008 sections 69, 70 and 71 for further information regarding the disqualification of directors (www.justice.gov.za).
