John Brown is the managing director of Dryland Products Limited, a company duly registered and operating in terms of the laws of Zimbabwe. The company operates a fruit and vegetable canning factory in Harare. Its products are sold both on the domestic and export markets. There is a lot of competition for business from suppliers of raw materials to the factory. One such supplier, a horticultural farmer Mr Murimi, developed a deep friendship with John Brown and often gives him expensive gifts. He recently donated a mini-van for use at a kindergarten operated by Mrs Brown, the managing director’s wife. It now transpires that the farmer, Mr Murimi’s products are generally more expensive than what other farmers in the same business can provide. This has fi nancially prejudiced the company.Required:In relation to company law, discuss the remedies available to the company against its managing director in light of the facts. (10 marks)
