1. This is a petition to wind up the company presented by FirstRand Bank Limited on the basis of a debt in the sum of Rand 10,102,785.81 pursuant to a Deed of Suretyship granted by the company in favour of the petitioner dated 19 February 1998.

2. The parent company of the company in question had been wound up by the Court on 21 May 2001. The petition herein was presented on 30 August 2001 on the basis that the company is insolvent and unable to pay its debts.

3. This petition was adjourned several times since March 2002 on the ground that there was a debt restructuring plan proposed for the parent company and the company. I understand from counsel appearing for the petitioner today that the restructuring plan has fallen through.

4. There being no objection to this petition, I make the usual compulsory order to wind up the company and I order that the petitioner's costs be paid out of the company's assets.
