3 Dec 2025 1 min read Article

The report builds on insights from the recent episode of Njeri Talks Law podcast, where Njeri Wagacha, Edward Burbidge CFA, Head of Emerging Markets at ICON Corporate Finance and Biju Mohandas, Partner and Global Head of Healthcare at LeapFrog Investments, unpacked LeapFrog’s exit from Goodlife Pharmacy to CFAO, and explored the investment shifts, regulatory dynamics, and growth trends shaping Africa’s Health-Tech landscape.


The report explores the rapid evolution of Africa’s Health-Tech sector, from capital flows and emerging M&A activity to regulatory readiness and the growing momentum around exits. Our section provides a legal perspective on due diligence, regulatory alignment, and how companies can strengthen credibility as they scale across markets. 

With rising investor participation and improving exit pathways, Africa’s Health-Tech ecosystem is entering a new, high-conviction growth cycle.

Does providing security to a lender amount to a disposal in terms of section 112 of the Companies Act?

In terms of section 112 of the Companies Act No. 71 of 2008 (Companies Act), the disposal of the whole or a greater part of a company’s assets or undertaking must be approved by a special resolution of that company’s shareholders. A question that arises in secured lending transactions is whether or not the enforcement of security provided as part of a funding transaction constitutes a disposal as contemplated in section 112 of the Companies Act.

Can companies in business rescue shield themselves from guarantee or suretyship claims by using section 133(2)?

Section 133 of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 (Act) plays a crucial role in South Africa’s corporate restructuring framework by introducing a general moratorium on instituting legal proceedings against a company undergoing business rescue. Section 133(1) ensures that no legal action, including enforcement action, can be initiated against the company or its property without the written consent of the business rescue practitioners or leave of the court. The proposed rationale behind this moratorium is to provide the necessary space for the company and the business rescue practitioners to focus on stabilising the business, restructuring its affairs, and potentially saving it from liquidation.
