the 2016 AGM) and highlighted the following:
This is the 21st year in a row that the HOA has received an unqualified Audit

The financials of the estate are sound.

Tshwane is compromised at present, but the HOA is working with Gert Visser on
maintaining the relationship.

Proposed by Ms Ina Meyer (1354/R), seconded by Mr Thys Rossouw (1345/1).
6. OPERATIONAL BUDGETS
Resolution 5 – Note and ratify 10% increase in Levies for FY2018:
The levy increase of 10% was implemented on the 1st March 2017. The average levy is
R1806 pm. The Board may ratify increases of up to 10%.
Questions:
Mr Thys Rossouw (1345/1) queried if the permission for the Board to increase by up to 10%
is open-ended. He suggested that this mandate should be re-looked at in the future. He
requested that this percentage should be tabled at the next AGM.

Mr Keith Smith (1526) said that the principle of a 10% automatic increase was given to the
Board before there were reserve funds. The mandate to the Board to increase levies up to
10% needs to be reviewed.
PL replied that the cost to repair the infrastructure (roads will need to be resurfaced)
should Tshwane not provide any funds was close on R10m, therefore there is a need
to build up the Capital Reserve Fund. The HOA would obviously keep fighting for
Tshwane to pay for the repairs and failing that to refund the HOA should it be
necessary for the HOA to fund the project.
Ms Ina Meyer (1354/R) asked how long the extra security levy was still going to be charged.
She also asked how the Homeowners would get their money back if the capital reserve was
used to pay for the infrastructure upgrade and then Tshwane refunded the HOA. She asked
if the funds will be given back to the residents if Tshwane credit the HOA.
MMD replied that the Special Levy will end at the end of July 2017.
JV replied that according to the MOI any Capital Expenditure needs to be brought to
the AGM for approval.
Ms Joyce Harris (1898/2) said that she felt there was not much chance of getting any money
back from Tshwane. She also said that the leaking water pipes on the Estate were a major
problem, and felt that spending money on repairing the road before this problem had been
addressed was a waste of money.
PL replied that there was an 8 out 10 chance that Tshwane will resurface the roads.
He extended an invitation to Ms Harris to visit the HOA office for more information.
MMD presented a list of levies of other Estates to the meeting.
Mr Tokkie Groenewald (1688) said that the levies should not be increased to attract a
particular type of person, and if we need to increase the levy to be on a par with other estates
then the Board must say that. He suggested that we should try and aim for an average cost
of living increase rather than 10%.
MMD replied that The Board takes note of his point. She said that the Board does
their homework regarding expenses before just increasing the levy.
A remark was made by an attendee that if the cash flow is good, expenses can easily be
absorbed in the cash flow.
Mr Willem de Kok (1664) said that the Board was asking for ratification of the levy that had
already been increased on 1 March 2017. He also said that should the resolution to re-
allocate the R160 special levy not be approved then in effect there would be a decrease in
the levy. The mandated 10% increase can be revisited at the next AGM. He proposed that
the Board be given the authority to increase the levy in March 2018 and then at the AGM
9
6
have it as an Agenda item to be discussed and approved. He proposed to the meeting to
ratify the levy already imposed in March 2017. This proposal was seconded.
Mr Lefty Piagalis (1609) said that the meeting should ratify the 10% but this should be
brought to the next AGM to discuss and not just automatically be increased.
MMD replied that this would be noted in the minutes and handled as such.
PL also agreed.
MMD asked for a proposal for levies to be ratified.
The levy increase of 10% was ratified.
Proposed by Mr Willem de Kok (1664), seconded by Mr Barno Nel (1920).
Resolution 6 – Note and accept the FY2018 Operational Budget :
MMD asked for the FY2018 Operational Budget to be noted and accepted by the meeting.
Questions:
Ms Ina Meyer (1354/R) asked MMD to explain how the payment of the recycling shown on
the budget worked.
MMD replied that this amount is paid by the residents as part of their levy. The HOA
then pays the supplier.
Mr Hugo Mouton (1367/1) asked MMD to explain the overspend on the Management and
Admin.
MMD replied that after doing a survey of other Estates and looking at what the
remuneration for similar staff in the industry was, it was identified that Centurion
HOA staff were below the accepted benchmark. These salary increases will be done
over a 2-year period, hence the jump in salaries. Quality people needs to be retained.
Mr Keith Smith (1526) said that he didn’t understand why the Residents were being charged
for the recycling because there was a flyer that offered the service for free which he handed
to JV. He understood that the supplier was being paid to ensure that he arrives weekly to
collect the waste. Mr Smith suggested that the recycling needed to be reviewed at the next
AGM.
JV replied that this service was offered for free in some areas, but we were paying for
the facility to put all of the waste into one container and not have to sort it.

Mr Mandy Mitchell (2394) asked why the meeting did not vote on these resolutions. He did
not agree with just a proposer and a seconder to get the resolution approved. There needs
to be a majority vote.
PL replied that it is the prerogative of the Chairman to decide on how the
resolutions are voted on.
Mr Thys Rossouw (1345/1) raised the question of what would happen if the 10% levy increase
of March 2017 not be ratified.
Mr. Rob Laubscher (1542) said it meant that if the increase in levies are not ratified that it
was illegal from the beginning and the HOA cannot deduct the increase. Members must
then be refunded.
Mr Lefty Piagalis (1609) stands by Mr Willem de Kok that the meeting needs to ratify the
levy increase already implemented and that the Board’s mandate can be reviewed at the
following AGM. He asked the Board to undertake that there will be no automatic levy
increases in the future, and if needed a special SGM can be called.
PL confirmed that the current mandate was already ventilated at Board level. He also told
the meeting that the Board works hard and that a Capital reserve needs to be built.
Whatever money will be spent will be in the best interest of the community.
Mr Deon Joubert (1839) said that the increase of Management and Admin was actually 23%
which is a very large increase to give without consulting the Residents.
Ms Angela Hill (1733) commented on the struggling economy at the moment and said that
we should be looking at cost cutting exercises and not increases. She said that she felt that
she could trim about R1m off this budget as it stood.
MMD welcomed Ms Hill’s help and invited her to visit the HOA offices and have a
meeting to discuss this.
Mr Willem de Kok (1664) advised the meeting that the Board was elected by the
homeowners/residents to do this job and that there were no new nominations received to
replace the retiring Board Members, yet all they get is criticism. The HOA board is doing a
good job.
Mr Lourens Maritz (1771) asked what the Management and Admin included.
MMD replied that it was primarily salaries, upkeep and everything else to do with
the administration and running of the HOA. She said that the HOA had quality staff
which needed to be retained.
11
8
Mr Lefty Piagalis (1609) asked if the meeting could have a breakdown of the salaries. He
also asked for confirmation of the Director’s remuneration.
MMD replied that she did not have the current salaries with her. The Directors
received 1 month levy rebate as remuneration. She also queried whether it was
ethical and correct to disclose the staff salaries in this forum.
Mr Rob Laubscher (1542) felt that the HOA staff were employed by the
homeowners/residents and so they should be entitled to know the salaries.
Mr Tristan la Grange (1334/1) said that a Special AGM should be held in 4/5 months’ time
to discuss the FY2018 Operational Budget.
Mr Mandy Mitchell (2394) said that all residents are entitled to a list of the employees and
their benefits. He reiterated that there should be a majority vote to get a resolution passed.
MMD asked for the FY2018 Operational Budget to be noted and accepted by the meeting
(by a show of hands).
The FY2018 Operational Budget was not approved.
7. CAPITAL BUDGETS
Resolution 7 – Note and accept progress report on existing capital projects :
MMD showed a graph explaining the capital budget progress FY2017. Approved and in
progress items total R1 778 526. The Board is asking ratification for an extra R181 000 (for
project 6 & 6a/2016 for additional bricks.
JV highlighted the existing capital projects and explained the problems that have arisen
with the paving at the main gate and the reasons for the shortfall in the budgeted amount.
The breakages when lifting the bricks was more than the QS had estimated, and the water
damage to the existing bricks meant that these bricks could not be re-used.
Pieter Odendaal (PO) addressed the meeting and said that the money in the Capital Reserve
Fund is not used for operational purposes. The old 60mm bricks will be replaced with 80mm
bricks with a 35mpa, so it is a much stronger brick. In the past the bricks had to be sealed
every 2-3 years, but with the new ones this will not be necessary. The size of the area that
is being repaved is larger than was previously expected.

Questions:
Mr Lourens Maritz (1771) said that R250 000 had already been allocated from other projects
so now the R180 000 that is needed is closer to R400 000 that the project is over budget.
JV replied that the R250 000 was taken from savings from other projects, but the
R180 000 needed approval.
PL said that the Board must address fundamental problems when they arise and
treat the source and not just the problem. The new paving would have a 10-year
minimum life span and the paving would not have to be revisited every 3 years as in
the past.
JV asked that the progress report on existing capital projects be noted and accepted (by a
show of hands).
The progress report on existing capital projects was noted and ratified.
Resolution 8 – Approval of new capital projects (R740 000) :
JV explained the new capital projects that were needing approval.
1/2018 Replace Golf Cart – R80 000
2a/2018 Improve security access controls – Fingerprint readers – R150 000
2b/2018 Improve security access controls – Improve alarm abilities – R70 000
2c/2018 Improve security access controls – Physical gates – R150 000
2d/2018 Improve security access controls – Spike Barriers for top gate – R140 000
3/2018 River management study – R110 000
4/2018 Replace booms – R40 000
Questions :
Mr Keith Smith (1526) felt that R150 000 was a lot of money for new fingerprint readers.
He asked JV how many readers this was for and what the cost of each reader is. He also
asked if the HOA have a formal procurement policy that they follow.
JV replied that the new generation readers would allow for quicker processing of
residents through the gate. The costs are for the readers, installation, licence fees and
lightening protection for the readers.
PL said that the Board does have a procurement policy which is followed by getting 3
quotes. Residents are welcome to come to the offices to look at these quotes.
Mr Willem de Kok (1664) felt that spending R110 000 on a river study when the piece of
river we have on our Estate is only about 1km long is not going to help the situation.
13
10
PL explained that the study needs to be done preferably to protect the river and the
bank erosion and the trees. Specialists predict that if something is not done then the
landscape on the river will become barren in a decade.
Mr Vusa Vundla (1779) asked why spikes are necessary at the top gate.
JV explained that the top gate is the weakest security link on the Estate according to
a risk analysis.
Mr Keith Smith (1526) requested the opinion of the security expert on the Board relating to
this security issues.
VB replied that he is not sure about the readers but that speed would help. He also said
that lightning protection is not necessary.
JV said that the HOA suffered losses previously with the original installation due to
lightning.
JV referred also to the improvement of alarm abilities to help guards. Technology such as
sound barriers are available.
VB mentioned that no other Estates have sound blasting.
Mr Keith Smith (1526) mentioned that 2 Directors are arguing. The Board will consider an
expert opinion on this matter before a decision is made.
PL highlighted that the issue is to improve security controls. The reality is that Estate’s
entrances are targeted more and more as it is the easiest access point.
Ms Belinda Winterstein (1465) felt that the possible crowd strikers will jump over the wall
and not come through the main gate. According to her sound blasters would not help.
Mr Morne Oosthuizen (1739) said that the security on the Estate is not worth compromising
and that the security results have shown that the Board is doing a good job with regard to
security. Residents should not question the Board on security matters.
JV said that the Board will visit other Estates to see what security measures they have.
Ms Joyce Harris (1898/2) said that the meeting should not be questioning security funding.
The Estate is secure and security is the main stay.
Mr Rudi Britz (1360/R) asked about the double booms that were suggested 2 years ago.
14
11
JV replied that this was investigated but there was not enough space for a double
boom and that it would slow the traffic down too much. It is not completely off the
table and can be looked into again.
Mr Tokkie Groenewald (1688) agreed that if the river management study was to protect the
river banks then it was a positive approach, but not if it was to understand where the waste
comes from and what to do about that.
PL replied that the study related to protecting the river banks and the trees and to
avoid a barren landscape within a decade and will be in the best interest of the
community.
Mr Lefty Piagalis (1609) said that the late Prof Wim Skinner did a river survey a few years
ago and maybe this should be checked with the Club to avoid duplication.
Mr Terrence Hill (1733) asked if residents can see copies of the quotes for these projects.
MMD advised that they are available at the HOA offices.
It was decided to vote on each capital project item individually (by a show of hands).
1/2018 Replace Golf Cart - Approved
2a/2018 Fingerprint readers - Approved
2b/2018 Improve Alarm abilities – Approved
2c/2018 Physical gates - Approved
2d/2018 Spike barriers top gate – Not Approved
3/2018 River management study – Not Approved
4/2018 Replace booms - Approved
Resolution 9 – Approval of the 2-year cash provision for FY2018 and FY2019 :
MMD advised that this had already been voted on as per Resolution 8 – the capital will
come in but not all of the expenditure will go out.
Resolution 10 – SSC: Note and accept progress report on existing capital projects :
Edwin Nel (EN) presented a slide show of the changes and additions as approved at the last
AGM to the Clubhouse and thanked the HOA for all the support that they have given to the
Country Club.
The final figure for the kitchen revamp from the HOA contribution was R493 329.
EN asked that the progress report on SSC existing capital projects be noted and accepted
(by a show of hands).

S1d/2018 Build patio braai – R35 000 (Mar ’18)
S1e/2018 Squash courts – R50 000 (Jun ’18)
S1f/2018 Bridge 6-7 – R130 000 (Jul ’18)
S1g/2018 Tennis Court – R73 000 (Jul ’18)
S1h/2018 Wood fire pizza oven – R55 000 (Jan ’19)
Total cost: R616 000 over a 2 year period
Questions:
Mr Olivier Duffar (1880/1) asked why the tennis courts needed to be upgraded when they
were done 2 years ago.
EN replied that only the top layer surface of the courts was done, but cracks are
coming through.
JV explained that the HOA had signed an MOC with the SSC and that the SSC had
to ask and report back to the HOA on capital expenditure. The AGM of last year
approved an amount of R60 for the SSC towards these projects.
Mr Morne Oosthuizen (1739) asked EN what had happened to the card discount system
that was discussed last year.
EN replied that this was not approved at the Golf Club AGM a month ago.
EN asked that the new capital projects be approved (by a show of hands).
The new capital projects for the SSC were approved.
Resolution 12 – Approval for amendment of the MOI to make provision for a 1% Buy-in-
Levy or 10% increase on current amount :
This resolution was withdrawn due to administrative reasons.
Mr Keith Smith (1526) asked if this amount will be staying the same. MMD confirmed
that there will be no increase in this amount.

13
Special Resolution 13 – Re-allocation of existing R160 monthly contribution to our Capital
Reserve Fund :
MMD advised the meeting that the capital reserve fund is part of the 20-year Master
Plan. If the current R160 Special levy which will come to an end July 2017 could be re-
allocated to the Capital Reserve Fund it would cover some of the necessary expenditure
and keep the income stream positive. If this does not happen then a Special Meeting will
have to be called when funds are required.
Mr Olivier Duffar (1880/1) said that he did not agree with the Buy-in-Levy and the Board
should rather raise the monthly levy.
Mr Thys Rossouw (1345/1) asked if this included the contribution from Tshwane.
PL replied that it excluded contribution from Tshwane, but should this happen then
the budget will be revisited.
PL thanked MMD for 12 years of service as a Director on the Board. He also thanked
Anneke Geary for her contributions.
VOTING RESULTS - resolution 13:
78 for / 85 against Not approved
8. MEMORANDUM OF INCORPORATION (MOI)
Special Resolution 14 – Approval of amendments to the MOI :
Cecilia Prinsloo (CP) – van der Linde addressed the meeting and outlined that the changes
that had been made to the MOI were mainly only to make it more user friendly.
Questions:
Mr Mandy Mitchell (2394) queried the clause in the MOI that states that a Director can
delegate and/or cede their power to impose penalties on residents to someone else. He said
that penalties are a sensitive issue and competent people should be deciding on whether to
impose them or not. He referred to his penalty that he had received without anyone
discussing the reasons around it. He felt that an investigation should be done before
penalties are imposed.
CP replied that this was not a new clause to the MOI and that the Directors were not
always available. The fine is linked to an appeal process which must be done within
30 days.
JV said that he took note of Mr Mitchell’s point.
PL said his penalty was reversed and the matter was concluded.
17
14
Ms Zelda van der Watt (1694) asked if concessions could be given for contractor work on a
Saturday morning between 8 and 1, as the present arrangement/rule seems unfair.
PL said that it would be considered at the next Board Meeting and would revert.
Mr Lefty Piagalis (1609) asked CP to explain what changes had been made to the MOI.
CP highlighted the changes as per the information given to the residents in the pack.
Pieter Odendaal said that he felt there was a loophole to circumvent in clause 4.4.2.2 of the
proposed changes which should be looked into. No time frame is stated.
CP to investigate and amend the clause and add the necessary wording.
JV asked that the meeting consider the MOI as it is with the proviso that the Board will
table this clause at the meeting when the Budget is tabled.
VOTING RESULTS – Resolution 14:
125 for – 31 against Approved
9. OTHER RESOLUTIONS
Special Resolution 15 – Note and confirm the penalty system :
JV pointed out the new revised penalties on the CHOA Penalty System and told the meeting
that the rules on the Estate were there to maintain the investment, lifestyle and security of
the Estate. The goal of the penalty system is to change behaviour. He told the meeting
about one of the ongoing problems that the HOA has with a resident where an unsightly as-
build structure has been erected without any plans. Penalty for this is proposed at R7 500.
All the proposed changes were approved.
Questions :
Ms Jacolette Priem (1518) asked who pays the penalty for this if you buy the property and
there is an as-built structure already there that does not have passed plans. She felt that
the penalty for this should be higher.
JV took note of this and advised that the amount could not be changed at this AGM.
He confirmed that the seller would have to pay because they would not get a clearance
certificate when selling.
Ms Rossouw (1345/1) asked who fines the golfers for urinating in public.
18
15
JV replied that you had to be a Resident to receive a fine. He would address the issue
with the Club.
Mr Keith Smith (1526) and Mr Adriaan du Randt (1341/3) addressed the issue of speeding
on the estate. They feel that it is a serious problem that does not seem to get solved.
JV took note and is addressing the issue. To get the necessary training for staff is
challenging.
JV asked that the Penalty System be noted and confirmed (by a show of hands).
The Penalty System was noted and confirmed.
10. MARKETING
Dot van Ryneveld (DvR) addressed the meeting with the Marketing presentation.
Work has been done on the CI to ensure that all logos and marketing material look
identical.
There is a good relationship between the HOA and SSC. Visual changes are evident
at the Club. Regular meetings are held between the two General Managers, including
the Security Manager to try and alleviate the theft from the Club. Regular Marketing
meetings are held to discuss social events and to get feedback about these social
events.
The bi-monthly Interface magazine featured the 20th anniversary of the Estate. DvR
thanked Cecilia for her article contributions to the magazine.
The Glo-Portal is providing the week-ahead communication, and they are looking at
segmenting the SMS’s to only be sent to the relevant parties. Emails sent from the
HOA have been monitored – 147 000 emails sent, only 36 000 read.
There will be a new APP (Centurion APP) for download which will allow residents to
update their profile, receive contacts for home maintenance 24/7, get the
communication from the HOA, and receive important documents and photos.
The Secsyst APP is going to be upgraded and will be more user friendly. Residents
will have to login every time for security reasons.
Completed projects
MWEB & Telkom fibre installations have progressed well. They are investigating the 2
areas that do not have connection yet. Free installations are still available.
Social Calendar
The new menu has been launched.
The Club is trying to provide events for the whole family.
19
16
DvR indicated that it would be a good idea for EN to organise a clubhouse survey to see what
the resident’s needs are.
DvR thanked Jeanette for all her hard work in the Marketing department.
Year ahead
DvR told the meeting that the HOA and SSC had entered into an ARC Industry Awards
Programme. This involves looking at leadership, industry participation, community
involvement, social awareness, transformation and environmental management. The
approved organisations to be supported for 2017/18 are Caring Daisies, SPCA, Cansa and
Centurion Hospice. They are also wanting to assist with the Knysna disaster relief. The
partners in this Programme are Bidvest Protea Coin, Life Landscapes and TLG Publishing.
Acknowledgements
DvR thanked:
The members of the Board for their commitment and hard work.
Tracey Garde from TLG Publishing for all her work with regard to the Interface.
Hans Jonck and all of his staff for their efforts and hard work and presented them
with a Certificate of Appreciation.
Questions :

MINUTES OF THE GENERAL MEETING OF THE
CENTURION HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION
HELD AT THE CENTURION COUNTRY CLUB ON 19 OCTOBER 2017 AT 18H00
Directors: DE van Ryneveld (Acting Chairperson), VFJ Blasl (Security), MSE MacDougall
(Finance), BMERV Laurent (co-opted Corporate Governance), WE Nel (Sports & Social
Club).
1. WELCOME AND APOLOGIES
Welcome:
The Acting Chair, Ms Dot van Ryneveld (DVR), welcomed all present to the meeting and thanked
them for their attendance. As there was a quorum (236 including proxies at the start of the
meeting), she declared the meeting properly constituted.
She extended a special word of welcome to the past Chairpersons of the CHOA, Cecilia Prinsloo-
van der Linde from Prinsloo-van der Linde Attorneys, and the Auditors representative Jannie
Griesel. She introduced the Board members as well as co-opted member Brigitte Laurent who is
the Director for the new Corporate Governance portfolio. DVR advised the meeting that all of the
presentations and resolutions would be presented and then questions could be asked afterwards.
Apologies:
Joey du Toit
Philip Lourens
2. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRESENTATION
Brigitte Laurent (BL) gave a brief outline of what this new portfolio is aimed at achieving.
Corporate governance is the system of rules and processes by which a company is directed
and controlled.
It involves balancing of the interests of a company’s stakeholders – shareholders,
management, customers, suppliers, financiers, government and the community.
5 principles of corporate governance:
1. LEADERSHIP – the Board should steer the company to meet its business purpose in both the
short and the long term.
2. CAPABILITY – the Board should have an appropriate mix of skills, experience and
independence to enable its members to discharge their duties and responsibilities effectively.
3. ACCOUNTABILITY – the Board should communicate to the company’s shareholders and
stakeholders at regular intervals, a fair, balanced and understandable assessment of how the
company is achieving its business purpose and meeting its other responsibilities.
4. SUSTAINABILITY – the Board should guide the business to create value and allocate it fairly
and sustainably to reinvestment and distributions to all stakeholders.
5. INTEGRITY – the Board should lead the company to conduct its business in a fair and
transparent manner that can withstand scrutiny by stakeholders.
The Company Act and MOI directs us to act in this manner.
3. SIGNATORY GROUP PRESENTATION
Terrence Hill (TH) presented the items of concern on behalf of the Signatory Group, and hoped
that the information given would help with the decision making of the members of the meeting.
He explained that the Signatory Group (Represented by Terrence Hill, Keith Smith and a core
21
2
team of 15 members) had obtained 220 member’s signatures to get items onto the Agenda for the
GM.
What has been achieved:
Actions influenced by the Signatory Groups interventions:
Security Director position refilled after being vacant
Increased focus on doing things right
Improved investment yields and planning
More disclosures on the budget
Reviewing all contracts
Reduction in budget.
3.1 Presentation by residents on general items of concern
Lack of engagement with the members on re-allocation of budget savings
Cost control – The Budget should not be a target, it should be a calculated process
Transparency of actions taken by the HOA – non-disclosures
Tshwane Infrastructure
How do we vote? Proposing and seconding i.e. a two-person vote, does not constitute a
vote legally and should this method be used, objections should be called for. When
voting by a show of hands, proxies and multiple owners are difficult to count.
Other items: Contract management and procurement pressure to drive costs down
Procurement methods
Outsourced approach vs staff compliment
Investment strategy
Detailed line items in the budget not being sufficiently scrutinised
Corporate Governance
MOI used vs what was agreed
The ability to obtain information.
3.2 Presentation by residents on a detailed budget & estimated potential savings compared to
information obtained verbally from the HOA
Budget concerns:
Re-allocations of savings to other projects
High level of outsourcing
Salaries – already increased (above market related) from 1 Mar 2017 – Complete CTC is
not disclosed on one budget item
Legal costs incurred – potentially unnecessarily.
TH asked the meeting if they were aware of the legal costs that are being incurred. These are
associated with the Tshwane Water Bill Court Case, M & T Feedback and Legal opinions on
resolutions. General consensus of the meeting was that they were not aware
He referred to an extract from the MOI which states that the CHOA must “control and manage
the aesthetic appearance, maintenance and upkeep of all areas surrounding the public roads
within the area covered by the Scheme.” He stated that the Board actions and the 20-year plan
contradicts this.
Budget opportunities:
Detailed budget not made available
22
3
Garden contract
River maintenance
Salaries
Combine similar functions to extract synergies
Telecoms costs (Switchboard rental, cell phones, iPads etc.) – full review recommended
Procurement using the broader HOA community can add value.
3.3 Amendment to the MOI for the establishment of an Internal Audit Committee
Material commitments are made without consulting the community – implement
delegation of authority and mandates
Implement disclosures, i.e. Conflicts of interest
An independent process to drive savings and investment income
Transparency in the procurement process
This resolution is the main drive of the Signatory Group.
3.4 Amendment to the MOI to allow a member to authorise a spouse to be a Director, and other
recommendations
A spouse has a material interest in the property
Appropriate rules can be put into place to protect the member
Need to have a broader pool of people to stand for Directors.
3.5 Permanent Director portfolios for Finance, Security and Infrastructure
The Security Director was vacant after the last AGM and this portfolio has been filled
Key positions must include Finance, Security and Infrastructure
The Board has recommended and additional portfolio – Corporate Governance
The Signatory Group believes that a Risk and Compliance Committee is needed to
support this drive and serve as a bridge for transparency of the HOA actions.
3.6 Automatic increase of levies to be revoked – can only be approved at an AGM
TH reviewed the historical levy increase on medium stands of the last 10 years and
highlighted that the increase used to be on inflation but that is now no longer the case
The Board should annually present their budget for approval prior to levy increase
There is sufficient reserve to carry the inflation aspects until the AGM
The budget can be run from AGM to AGM.
3.7 Budget reduction and governance
Budget reduction:
Expect to see a reduction in levies or additional value add at the next AGM
Budget meeting prior to next AGM as per Board discussions
Budget numbers should be as realistic as possible.
Governance:
Requirements as per Risk and Compliance Slide
Cross funding only with specific rules
Procurement policies
Information should be available to members freely via a portal
Information should be available to members via request
Verification of MOI amendments.

3.8 Remove capital projects 2a/2018 and 2b/2018 from list
The community was ill informed of the implications of these 2 projects:
Project 2b/2018 improve alarm ability
It can harm our residents or visitors
Can lead to civil law suits against the estate
It is a military/police device.
Project 2a/2018 finger print readers
Life of existing readers is another 3 years
The speed of the reader is not the problem – the opening of the boom is.
4. SPECIAL RESOLUTION 1
This resolution seeks permission to revoke the mandate given to the CHOA Board during the 2001
AGM to increase levies up to 10% annually to prevent future large increases in levies should the
Board of Directors deem it necessary. Any levies would therefore be approved at AGM/SGM.
The Boards Facts & Opinion:
Facts: This decision was voted by the members at the 2001 AGM.
3 x levy income must be adhered to according to legislation. (Post minute statement –
This is an incorrect statement, only a guideline unless someone can quote the legislation
reference).
To avoid unnecessary large increases in any particular year.
Opinion: An annual CPI + 2% on average percentage of the CPI of the previous financial year.
Alternatively, an annual SGM in January/February. The Board’s budget and levy
increase would be presented for approval. A quorum at 2 meetings a year would be
mandatory. There are cost implications of having 2 meetings per annum. Should no
levies be timeously approved, this can hinder the proper functioning of the CHOA.
5. SPECIAL RESOLUTION 2a
This resolution seeks permission to cancel capital project 2a/2018 – Fingerprint readers – which
was approved at the 2017 AGM.
The Signatory Group requested cancellation of the AGM approved project.
The Board’s Facts & Opinion:
In view of the 2 incidents at the Main and Top Gate it is the opinion of the Board that had the
fingerprint readers been replaced with faster readers, the impact of the incidents might have been
less severe. The Board does not support the cancellation of this capital project.
6. SPECIAL RESOLUTION 2b
This resolution seeks permission to cancel capital project 2b/2018 – improved security access
controls – improve alarm abilities - which was approved at the 2017 AGM.
The Signatory Group requested cancellation of the AGM approved project.
The Board’s Facts & Opinion:
As far as cancelling the improved alarm abilities, the Board agrees to cancel this project.
7. SPECIAL RESOLUTION 3
This resolution seeks approval to have permanent Director Portfolios on the Board of Directors for
Finance, Security, Infrastructure and Corporate Governance & Compliance.
24
5
The Board’s Facts & Opinion:
The CHOA Board supports this request.
The Board has included an additional permanent and occupied portfolio for good Corporate
Governance & Compliance to oversee procurement and transparency in the daily activities of the
CHOA, and to establish a code of conduct.
8. SPECIAL RESOLUTION FOR PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE MEMORANDUM OF
INCORPORATION (MOI)
8.1 Risk & Compliance (Audit) Committee
Reason for and effect of special resolution:
The CHOA receives requests for information regarding its operations. This information is not
always freely and readily available to members and can only be viewed at the office during
office hours. This resolution is intended to establish controlled procedures by which the CHOA
Board can share information as requested by members.
The Risk & Compliance Committee will be able to review and provide oversight of financial
activities, the system of internal controls and review their effectiveness. The Committee
members should be appointed annually by the Board from nominations received from the
CHOA members at the AGM. Only resident members may be eligible to serve. The intention
of the Committee is to assist the Board in facilitating open and transparent communication
with Members.
This resolution will allow Members to authorise the establishment of the Risk & Compliance
Committee with immediate effect and will not be dependent on the MOI being updated which
will take place subsequent to the approval of the resolution.
The Board’s Facts & Opinion:
Facts: A legal opinion was obtained and distributed to Members.
Board members are nominated and elected at an AGM by the community.
Board members are responsible to the community to oversee and control the portfolios
entrusted to them by the Chairperson at the first Board meeting after election takes
place.
Board members at all times should act within the framework of the MOI and the
Companies Act and report back to the community at an AGM or other methods available
should the need arise.
Cost implications.
Legal implications.
Opinion: The new portfolio and MOI already provides for transparency and Sub Committee.
8.2 Authorise a Spouse to be a Director
Reason for and effect of special resolution:
The MOI currently allows for companies, trusts and other bodies corporate, to appoint
authorised representatives to be nominated for appointment as a Director to the Board.
However, although the spouse of a member has a vested interest in the property registered in
the name of an individual Member, the MOI does not allow for this dispensation to apply to
individual Members.
It is proposed that the MOI be amended to provide for a member to authorise a spouse to be
nominated for appointment as a Director to the Board and the written authority issued by the
Member follows a similar process as that which is in place for the appointment of
representatives for companies, trusts and other bodies corporate and that Members can then
elect Directors from persons so appointed.
25
6
The Board’s Facts & Opinion:
Facts: The Board requested a legal opinion. A memorandum of advice was distributed to
members.
Opinion: The Board will support this proposal with the consideration of the memorandum on
advices guidelines.
9. SPECIAL RESOLUTION 4
The resolution seeks approval of the FY2018 Operational Budget as amended.
The Board presented the reduced FY2018 Operational Budget for approval.
MMD presented the amended budget highlighting the following:
Levy increase:
Levy increases are primarily based on expenditure which gets reduced by some income such as
interest, registration fees, access fees and a few other items of income. She pointed out the actual
% increase against CPI since 2006. She said that it needs to be remembered that the “basket
arriving at CPI” is not the same as the basket of expenses in our estate. Part of the expenses
comprise additional contributions to the Sports & Social Club as well as a “Contingency” which the
Board always aims not to spend in order to build up reserves.
Budget vs Actuals:
The Board regards the budget as a guideline to control spending in a responsible way and never as
an open cheque book. Over many years the Board consistently aimed and achieved it to perform
better than budget by being responsible in the spending of the money. This is also due to
conservative budgeting for other income as well as not spending the Contingency. The surplus is
transferred annually to Retained Income and the Capital Reserve Fund.
Since Feb 2006 a total surplus of R4.471m was accumulated, split between Retained Income
R2.260m and Capital Reserve Fund R2.211m.
Capital Reserve Fund:
Part of the annual surplus has been allocated to the Capital Reserve Fund over the years. The
Board did not only rely on the Buy-In-Levy to boost this reserve. A total of R2.2m has been
allocated to this reserve since 2010.
Reserve:
MMD showed how the Retained Income has increased over the years. If a portion of the annual
surplus had not been allocated to the Capital Reserve Fund, the retained income would stand at
R4.259m which would be slightly lower than where is should be at R4.640m.
Balance Sheet:
MMD said that the financial position of the CHOA is strong. Current liabilities are covered by
cash in the bank (3.65x) and current assets (3.74x). The retained income is not on the level of 3 x
current levy income. The shortfall as at 31st Aug is R1.85m and cannot be ignored. It was the
stated objective of this Board many years ago and endorsed by all previous and present Boards to
have the retained income at this level. This is also required and endorsed by the Ombudsman and
ARC. This reserve can also assist in avoiding large special levies. A reserve of this size as well as
cash in the bank allows the Board quick access to funds should the need arise without having to
hold a SGM to raise special levies.
Budget:
26
7
The re-worked budget is based on the 6 months actual figures to August and projections for the
following 6 months, based mostly on contracts in place and essential cost items. Certain contracts
are under review and may contribute to additional savings.
Various factors contributed to this saving:
The income budget other than levies has always been done very conservatively ensuring
this it is realistic and achievable.
The General Manager negotiated the Security Contract annual increase effective 1st
September.
Certain items needing repairs or replacement were postponed.
Budgeted tree planting will not take place.
2018 – 2019 Budget:
This process starts in September as soon as the results for the 6 months ending 31 August are
known.
In anticipation of the vote on the levy increase, the Board might have to call a SGM in early
February to determine the levy increase.
If levies can only be increased after approval at an AGM, normally in June, the backlog of income
in levy for the period March to June will result in a higher % increase. This is the reason why it
was changed in 2001.
10. FEEDBACK ON TSHWANE DISPUTE
Cecilia Prinsloo-van der Linde from Prinsloo-van der Linde Attorneys gave feedback on the
ongoing Tshwane water dispute. She advised the meeting of the process that has been followed so
far with court appearances and extensions that have been given to Tshwane Council by the Court.
It has been necessary to take this matter to court to prevent the Council from cutting the access to
the Smart Meter which would have a direct impact on the Estate. Cecilia advised the meeting that
she has been invoicing the HOA at a discounted rate. It is hoped that this dispute should be
resolved in November this year at the next court hearing.
11. QUESTIONS
Ms Ina Meyer (1354/R) asked Cecilia if we have received cost orders for the Tshwane dispute. She
also said that if the Council has found loopholes to get extensions up to now, what is to say that
this will not happen again in November. She also asked if Prinsloo-van der Linde were working on
a % basis on this dispute.
Cecilia – we have received cost orders, and the Court has said that it is at the cost of the
city and that no further extensions will be granted. There is a fee agreement with the
CHOA for the legal costs.
Mr Willem de Kok (1664) commented on the levy increase. He said that the increases over the last
few years have been 100% correct and that there are reasons that they have been increased as
such. The Estate started off with a very low levy and certain projects need to be funded. An
additional levy of R65 was added to assist the Club. He also said that Board members are elected
by the residents to serve to the best of their ability. Maybe it would be a good idea to increase the
number of Directors. He asked Terrence Hill if the Signatory Group had looked into opportunities
in the Sports & Social Club.
TH – opportunities in the SSC and Security is an option to look into. They had not
specifically look at this area. He felt that levies needed to be evaluated and cut and a new
levy structure introduced going forward.
27

Mr Pierre Lombard (1469) added to MMD’s presentation by adding that the increased levy money
is not wasted, it is sitting on the balance sheet. He asked if the Board had a policy with regard to
salaries of the staff. He said that he was very pleased with the current Board and the new
members of the Board.
DVR – the Board has a strict code of conduct and has investigated all increases thoroughly
using a KPI’s, market related salaries, value of the staff.
BL – guidelines are followed and benchmarked against other similar Estates.
Mr Keith Smith (1526) said that he is elated and gets comfort from the fact that there are now 2
new Directors on the Board. He also said that he is very impressed with BL. He said that he is
concerned about the fact that the salaries of the staff are only discussed and approved by the
Chairman and Finance portfolio and the General Manager. He said that the decisions regarding
salaries should be approved by the whole Board. He referred to MMD’s comment “not an open
cheque book” and said that the Budget should not be a target. He reiterated that there should not
just be an automatic 10% increase in levies, but that a budget should be presented in February.
He felt that there is frivolous legal expenditure, for example, are Prinsloo-van der Linde Attorneys
billing for their presence at the meeting, and the legal bill for the opinions sought by the CHOA on
the resolutions. There are 3 lawyers on the Signatory Group that would have given the opinion for
free. He said that the garden contract is a joke and a full investigation needs to be done. If the
gardens are done in-house then there could be a saving of approximately R400 000 per annum. He
said that the Signatory Group does not want to divide the community. Since its inception,
transparency has improved slightly but certain information should still be made available to
Members. He said that it hasn’t been easy to get information and certain emails have not been
responded to. He said that the Members will not be subservient to the Board.
DVR – the Board has been accommodating with regard to access to information requested.
They have spent hours with residents attending to queries. The garden and river are not
viable to do in-house at this stage, but this is being investigated. The Board will be
scrutinising the 10% levy increase in every way possible. BL has been involved in the
process for the salaries of the staff.
BL – Directors need to understand their Fiduciary obligations and according to corporate
governance certain information is confidential.
Mr Mandy Mitchell (2394) quoted section 63 of PAIA which refers to disclosure of information
which would include salaries. He said that the MOI states that Members are entitled to all
financial accounts and all contracts. As a member he needs to know where his money is going. He
feels that the Members are being misled and that he could bring an application to have the
information disclosed. This would lead to another court case.
BL - The Constitution of the Country says that everyone has a right to privacy and the
disclosure of information. She wondered why there seemed to be an abnormal desire to get
the salary information.
DVR – the Board will look into the salary disclosure and the legal ramifications.
Ms Alta van der Walt (1483) asked if the salaries shown on the budget were cost to company. She
said that the spending of the contingency money was not approved by the Members. Money is
reallocated without approval. Most Members are not financial people and it would be nice if the
budget presented was always in the same format – not one year in detail and one year not. The
same format should be used every year.
MMD – salaries are not cost to company, do not include extras. It is not the intention to
spend the contingency money so that the reserves can be increased. The money spent at the
Clubhouse was the first time this Contingency money has been used. The budget has been
28
9
approved at the same level for the last 5 years, but if more detail is required then this can
be done.
Mr Adriaan du Randt (1341/3) said that due consideration should be given to the fact that the
Security Contract had been negotiated down by 6%. He felt that the salary increases were too high
and if they continue at the rate of increase that they have been following then the forecast for the
next 10 years does not look good. He felt that the residents had a right to know the salaries of the
staff.
Mr Edwin Stafford (1472/1895/R) said that the % increase in salaries is not in line with what is
happening out there. The residents pay the salaries so they are entitled to know what they are.
He questioned the reason that the paving was redone because it was perfect before. He also said
that he submitted an application to stand for the Board but his application was 1 minute late and
something was wrong with the signatures so his application was turned down. He questioned why
the residents get experts in like an architect, only to have their application turned down by the
Board.
DVR – thanked him for his input and the Board has taken note.
Mr Deon Joubert (1839) said that he was unhappy about the increase in Management Fees in the
June budget. He questioned why 30% of the budget was spent on Management and Admin.
MMD – the Ombudsman levy is included in the Management & Admin. The income and
expenditure are now matched on the revised budget.
Mr Udo Winterstein (1456) felt that the real issue is Governance. The proposed Audit Committee
could oversee that the Members get value for money. The Committee could offer expertise with
different levels of skills. There needs to be a structure in place to drive down costs.
Mr Darryll Castle (1409) said that is sounds like the Members see the Board as Management. The
Board and Management must be separate. Members must elect and trust the Board. The existing
Board must rebuild the trust of the Members. Rotation at Board level is needed and there should
be a vote for Board Members regardless.
Ms Angela Hill (1876/6) said that at the June AGM she advised that she could chop R1m off the
Budget. Mr K Smith got the Signatory Group going and now the Budget has come to R750 000
less. She still felt that there are more opportunities to reduce the Budget. If there is to be
spending over budget then the whole Board needs to approve it. How come all the Directors do not
have access to the salaries.
DVR – any overspend is always approved by the whole Board. The new Board will look into
salaries.
Mr Craig Campbell (1372/1) asked why there seems to be so much defence if everything is above-
board. Have the Auditors done a proper audit? The Board needs to get its act together to regain
the belief in them from the Members.
Mr Tokkie Groenewald (1688) said that it is difficult to solve all differences so the Risk &
Compliance Committee is the answer. He congratulated the new Board members.
Ms Marthi van der Walt (1889/2) thanked the Board for standing together and answering all the
questions.

Chairperson's report for the 2018 AGM 1 DE van Ryneveld
Chairperson's Report (2018 AGM)
Centurion Homeowners Association NPC (CHOA)
The CHOA is incorporated under the Companies Act as a non-profit company (NPC)
that has no share capital. It operates on a not-for-profit basis for the benefit of its
members (the home owners). It is tax-exempt except for income not obtained from
its members as levies.
The vision of the Board is to communicate to the members regularly. Since being in
the chair I have sent you my communiques to update you on our aspiration and
visions.
Our Centurion Residential Portal is available as a mobile App or on our website. It
is a communication instrument giving you access to the CHOA’s information. We
have uploaded several important documents, annual financials, budget and policies.
We will continue to update the Portal as and when necessary.
The Board also found it necessary to update the Policies which is currently in
progress.
The Board took a new direction in working together on a Strategy Plan ensuring we
strive for an aesthetically pleasing Estate and to increase the property values.
The Board of Directors of the CHOA and the SSC’s 5-year Strategy Plan, with
specific goals for the Estate are summarized as follows:
Security. The security of the Estate has always been our priority. We
continue to strive to keep an excellent track record.
Lifestyle. A harmonious and peaceful lifestyle on the Estate. Everyone
continues to play a significant role to achieve this.
Aesthetic standards. Continue to upgrade and make improvements to the
aesthetic standards of our Estate.
Property Values. Our investments in properties remains one of our focus
areas. We have one of the best positioned estates in the country and we must
continue to strive that the property values always reflect this.
Infrastructure. Our roads and bulk services from the municipality are still a
major concern. The Board addresses this matter with Tshwane Municipality
regularly.
Financial Position. Our financial position should remain very strong with
constant improvement to average ratios. The Board will continue to be stable
and transparent.
33
Chairperson's report for the 2018 AGM 2 DE van Ryneveld
Synergistic Relationship with the SSC. The SSC makes up so many aspects
already mentioned, to the success of the 5-year Strategy Plan. It is
paramount that the SSC and the CHOA work in conjunction with each other.
All of the strategies mentioned must be measured with timelines to ensure we work
towards the common goals. We will continue to communicate our progress to the
residents.

Chairperson's report for the 2018 AGM 3 DE van Ryneveld
Financials
The budget was not approved at the 2017 AGM. At the General Meeting held in
October, all matters voted on required a percentage of 75% or more as they were
Special Resolutions. This included the budget which obtained a 74.6% yes vote. The
result being an unapproved budget. As a result, management put a hold on most
expense items thus saving R494 760 against the original expense budget.
Additional income other than levies resulted in R412 450 over the original income
budget. The CHOA paid additional tax on this income amounting to R68 378 more
than the original amount budgeted for. It is the practice of the CHOA to budget for
a ‘Contingency’ expense which equates to 3% of total levy income. It is always the
intention of the Board not to spend this money which helps to increase the Retained
income reserve.
Taking all the net savings into account, the Net Operating Surplus for the 12 months
amounted to R1 407 440. This amount was transferred to the Retained income
reserve. The Retained income reserve now stands at R 3 457 206 as at 28 February
2018.
The Board remains committed to decisions taken by previous boards, to building a
Retained income reserve equal to 3 month’s current levy. Current monthly levies
from 1 March amounts to R 1 655 679. Our Retained income reserve should be at a
level of R 4 967 000 which implies we remain behind in reaching this objective.
The Financial Position of the CHOA remains strong and sound. We are particularly
proud of the Current asset/liability ratio of 6.15 and the Cash/liability ratio of 5.92.
Levies outstanding remains very low overall at R 135 920 and levies paid in advance
at R 655 454. This is both a testament to you, the members and the diligent
collection of levies.
All surplus cash is invested to obtain maximum interest thereon. Management has
always kept the current account as low as possible with the rest of the funds invested
in Money Market, 7-day notice and Fixed investments. This will be illustrated with
a graph later in the presentation.
Capital Reserve Fund (CRF)
The income for the FY2018 was R1 218 360 against a budget of R1 377 684.
Expenses for FY2018 amounted to R 795 902 against a budget of R2 078 526.
The balance of the CRF stands at R3 094 809.
The Board decided to recommend an increase of 5% to the Buy-in levy for the
FY2019. This will increase the contribution from R 31 240 to R 32 800.
35
Chairperson's report for the 2018 AGM 4 DE van Ryneveld
Capital Expenditure
Many of the planned projects were cancelled for the FY2018. The projects completed
were:
Walking trail bridges at a total cost of R 89 854
Repair and repave the main gates at a total cost of R 711 598
Improve security gate access with new fingerprint readers: R 25 924 (R124 076 less
than budgeted), the rest of the project was cancelled.
The 20-year plan for Capital projects were reviewed extensively. The Board took a
decision to approve Capital projects for 1 year at a time and not 2 years at a time as
done at previous AGM’s. Because of this decision all projects previously budgeted
and approved will be cancelled. A new list of priorities is tabled below:
For approval FY2019:
2019/1 Paint perimeter wall R 300 000
2019/2 Preventative maintenance to electric fence R 75 000
2019/3 Improve security access – fingerprint readers R 80 000
2019/4 Replace license scanners R 140 000
2019/5 Replace three booms R 75 000
2019/6 Improve security access – physical gates R 150 000
2019/7 Replace golf cart/utility vehicle R 160 000
TOTAL R 980 000
The Board further took the decision to include a line item in the Operational budget
to build the Capital reserve funds as this will be necessary going forward into the
future.
Security
We are proud that the security on the Estate remains one of the biggest success
stories and continues to be exceptional. However, residents should never be
complacent. We express thanks to all our security personnel for their pro-active
actions to ensure that our Estate is not vulnerable to criminals.
The CHOA has contributed with great success towards securing Tshwane’s electrical
infrastructure within our area. Regular cable patrols and monitoring of the sub-
stations continue and we strive to reduce the power outages.
Tenders
We recently communicated to you of our intention to go out on tender for our garden
maintenance. Thank you to everyone who was involved. The adjudication was
completed and we will announce the successful applicant. The next tender will be
for the cleaning of the river.

Chairperson's report for the 2018 AGM 5 DE van Ryneveld
Resident satisfaction Survey
A web-based resident satisfaction survey was performed to evaluate the staff in
January 2018. We received 260 responses which represents a return of
approximately 30%. The results again indicated a positive attitude in the Estate
with a high level of satisfaction regarding the services provided by the CHOA. The
overall weighted average was 77%, 3% lower than the previous year. Various aspects
of the survey are receiving attention.
Sport and Social Club
The SSC has made a significant turnaround from a deficit of R621 715 in the FY2017
to a surplus of R655 958 in the FY2018. This is directly as a result of taking over
catering and doing it in-house. This can clearly be seen from the increase in revenue
from ‘Food and Beverage’ from R6 859 039 (2017 {7 months}) to R14 211 010
(FY2018). Gross profit from ‘Food and Beverage’ has increased from R3 779 239
(FY2017) to R8 643 200 (FY2018).
The SSC is now operationally self-sufficient after the additional increase in the
social levy and capital projects levy was approved with effect from July 2016. The
SSC spent an amount of R173 000 on lounge furniture and banqueting chairs and
tables (project SSC1/2018) in FY2018. These improvements make the clubhouse
more inviting to residents overall. The SSC has R435 247 available in FY2019 for
more improvements to clubhouse projects (number S1-3/2019).
The CHOA will continue to support the SSC in funding its capital projects and to
upgrade its facilities. The aim is that all facilities on our Estate must be kept and
maintained at a standard conducive to the overall image and status of CRE. The
CHOA is committed to working together with the SSC to create an environment
which is inviting and pleasing to all residents where great meals can be enjoyed over
a glass of good wine!
Personnel
The CHOA staff have gone through difficult times this past financial year. They
strived to keep spending to a minimum and were always mindful of an unapproved
budget.
The success of the CHOA can be attributed to excellent staff members and their
number of years’ service shows their expertise.
To Jaco Venter our General Manager, and his team, thank you for your
commitment in the way you fulfill your daily tasks. You are an example to many
other estates of how an office should be run. Well done team.

Chairperson's report for the 2018 AGM 1 DE van Ryneveld
Board of Directors
Due to the resignation of Mr. Phillip Lourens, I stepped in as Chairperson until our up and coming AGM. I would like to thank Phillip for his tireless commitment while serving on the Board as a member and as Chairperson.
Ms. Brigitte Laurent was co-opted before our General Meeting. After our General Meeting held in October 2017 we required 2 more Board Members. Mr. Darryll Castle and Terence Hill were nominated unopposed. Thank you to all of you for your hard work.
Ms. Martie MacDougall our Finance Director has decided to retire from the Board. After 7 years and then another 6 years on the Board. I think it is only fitting to thank her for her 13 years of service. Martie, many thanks for your dedication, passion in keeping our finances in such a healthy state. Words cannot describe what you have done by giving our residents the peace of mind that our finances have been watched over by your “eagle eye”. Your shoes are going to be hard to fill.
At the time of writing this report, Mr. Vincent Blasl our Security Director has also decided to retire after 6 years of service. Vincent’s many hours of walking around the perimeter early in the morning and late at night to ensure everything is under control, his dedication indicates we have the best security. Thank you, Vincent, for always keeping everyone on their toes and never allowing anyone to be complacent. You have most certainly taken our security to a level which other estates often compare to what they have.
Sub-committee meetings and monthly Board meetings were well attended. At the first Board meeting held after the General Meeting it was agreed that the entire Board would all stand down, except for the President of the SCC, Mr. Edwin Nel due to the ex-officio nature of the position. This gives the residents the opportunity to nominate a new Board and to continue with our Strategy Plan going forward.
Outlook
The outlook of the Estate remains positive and must always be an address of aspiration. The track record of the Estate regarding management, financial position, security and physical assets is of a high standard and there is no reason to believe that this will change. Owners and Residents can be rest assured we will work hard to ensure our strategy and vision will always be a priority.

CHOA - DETAILS OF CAPITAL PROJECTS FOR 2019
2019/5 – Replace boomsThe current barriers were installed in 2009/10. The work cycle of the barriers average 24 000 openings a month. These barriers are showing wear and tear. The Board considered a maintenance evaluation report on all barriers and recommends replacing 3 barriers out of 7.
2019/6 – Improve security access – physical gatesRequests were received from residents to install physical gates at the Main Entrance to protect residents from riots or groups attempting to storm the gate and gain access. An appropriate structure needs to be considered as well as pricing.
2019/7 – Utility vehicleThe CHOA currently has 2 golf carts. One is used by the 4 gardeners servicing certain areas not covered by the garden contract. Their current golf cart is a refurbished cart bought 10 years ago. The members are asked to consider replacing this golf cart with the most economical and practical utility vehicle available, providing the same or better lifespan going forward.
2019/1 – Paint perimeter wall
The electric fence of 7,4km was installed 10 years ago. Due to UV exposure, wear and tear to the bobbins/tensioners (items that attach the wire to the poles) it become brittle, worn out and are arching. This creates false alarms and influences the voltage negatively. Replacement of the bobbins will be done in-house.
2019/3 – Replace fingerprints readersThe Board compared the existing fingerprint readers with the new Sagem range and it was found that the new reader has a faster processor and has the potential to read the fingerprint quicker. The historical readers were discontinued by the supplier and the Board therefore recommends to upgrade all the existing vehicle lanes as well as provide for back-up equipment. The CHOA will continue with the existing readers on the pedestrian access gates to end of life.
2019/4 – Replace license scannersThe visitor system has 5 Honeywell hand held scanners. The current scanners have reached the end of their life cycle and have become problematic. It is recommended we replace all 5 scanners with the replacement model.
The John Vorster boundary wall consists of mostly a 2,2m high plaster wall, erected by the developer. The wall plays a vital role in the security perimeter as well as the aesthetic appearance of the Estate approaching the Main Gate. The wall is currently in need of some damp repair, plaster repair, fiber seal of the top part and repainting in the Board approved colour scheme. The paint is expected to last for approximately 7 years.
2019/2 – Preventative maintenance to electric fence
