Are there any filing requirements for a change of directors or a change in shareholding in South Africa?

Companies are required to notify the CIPC of any director resignations, appointments or removals. 

There are no filing requirements for a change in shareholding, unless any change of shareholding results in a change of beneficial ownership, in which case the company has 10 business days to update its securities register and then another 10 business days after that to file the change with the CIPC.
