ms devota kiwory and another vs celtawico ltd 2020 tzhccomd 59 13 may 2020

The core issue is breakdown of communication and failure to convene statutory meetings. The court orders an extraordinary directors' meeting to address all complaints, as evidence is insufficient for determination of other allegations. Removal of the managing director is not practical and would harm the company.
