INTERVIEW – SAfm: Lenja Dahms-Jansen talks recent amendments to the Companies Act

Partner, Lenja Dahms-Jansen, joined Jimmy Moyaha to discuss the recent amendments to the Companies Act that have come into effect, including binding shareholder votes on remuneration, a new strike rule for non-executive directors, and mandatory pay-gap disclosures. The discussion covers the implications for South African companies, the need for board-level conversations, and how the changes align with international practice and promote economic inclusion. They also consider the impact on companies that have already issued AGM notices versus those that can still adjust their reports.
