In this regard, please see attached correspondence from the South African Restructuring & Insolvency Practitioners Association (SARIPA) and the Government Printing Department’s response thereto.

Kindly be advised that due to a high rate of positive COVID-19 cases reported in the Bellville area, the Chief Magistrate of the Bellville Magistrate’s Court directed that attended insolvency matters, including insolvency inquiries, shall not proceed until April 2021. Therefore, the inquiry in terms of Section 415 of the Companies Act 61 of 1973 which was set to proceed on 26 February 2021, was postponed sine die. We will confirm the new date for the aforementioned inquiry as soon as we receive same from the Bellville Magistrate’s Court.

The inquiry was postponed to 11 June 2021 but due to a double booking at the Magistrate’s Court, the inquiry has again been postponed to 30 August 2021.
