Hi all,
Pity I missed the last information meeting. I really wanted to ask what the format is for tendering for various services and products that our estate has to outsource. I stand corrected that the estate management outsourced to Coleman Properties (who are quick of the mark to write one nasty letters when you are a little late with payment regardless of the fact that you are at the other side of the world or Coleman Properties account staff miss allocate your prompt payments) were appointed without tender, and one can assume forever. Also it seems odd that one of this company's directors is also a director on our board. How strange that whilst at Home Talk in Meyersdal (our developer's offices) there proudly displayed on the same building is also "Bluesphere". Now Bluesphere I believe belongs to Nico Kruger who by coincidence is also our current board chairman. If this does not show smacks of favouritism, I do not know what does.
Meyersdal View, our immediate neighbours, had enough of their board scenario and voted these same people out of office. Since then they have had a hard time with our mutual developer over various issues. Perhaps we should follow their example and vote them out. I cannot believe that so many people are having such a difficult time having resolvable problems sorted out.
Surely the time is right for us to reassess what qualities we expect from our board members. As Barack Obama said and we should say "It is time for change".
Good luck to the Farrar's - keep strong and you shall prevail.
