Morita Forestry Members Petition

Filed: 03 August 2026 · Deadline: 14 working days from filing

We, the undersigned members of the public who invested in Morita Forestry South Africa, hereby submit this petition to demand answers, transparency, and accountability. We represent ourselves and are deeply concerned about the lack of clear communication regarding the status of Morita Forestry and our investments.

1

Why are South Africans being excluded from participating in the carbon market?

The carbon market is recognised internationally as a legitimate and profitable market. If Morita Forestry's business model is valid, why are South Africans being denied the opportunity to participate?

2

Which legitimate company is better positioned than Morita Forestry to facilitate South African participation in this market?

If Morita Forestry is not the appropriate vehicle, what alternative exists? We seek clarity on who should be facilitating this opportunity.

3

If Morita Forestry South Africa is a legitimate entity, why is it being refused the opportunity to correct administrative issues and continue operations without prejudice?

We have been assured that Morita is legitimate and compliant. If this is true, the company should be permitted to address concerns and resume operations.

4

Who are the individuals and institutions behind the closure of Morita Forestry, and what are their reasons?

The public deserves transparency regarding who is responsible for the current situation and what specific concerns led to the closure.

Additional Demands

  • A full report on progress made in restoring the directorship of Morita Forestry South Africa
  • Transparency regarding investigations currently underway
  • Clear information on remedies available to affected members
