Our rights
We were unable to attend the last AGM but did sign over proxy voting rights.
I have only now been told how the election was conducted and my conclusion was ....... disgraceful and a farce!!!
The developer’s so called ‘voting rights’ are unreasonably and very unfair but let me leave that point until last.
How can it be that the developer is allow to appoint 6 mandatory directors (including himself) without even allowing objections from us, the home owners. Yet he can use his many votes (about 150 of them I believe – and as mentioned before this is about the maximum capacity of people the AGM hall can hold) and with the help of those votes from his 5 appointed directors they did significantly influence the outcome of the ‘democratic’ election of other directors that we, the home owners, put forward? I conclude that this resulted in an extremely undemocratic election result more suited to old Russia or China, but not South Africa. Some of the competent nominees never had a chance regardless of their ability or desire to assist in pulling the estate straight. Best to be one of ‘the maatjies’ you see.
Why did somebody there not question what business it was for the developer to attend the vote counting procedure at the last AGM. I suppose, like my friends that were there, that most home owners were totally unaware that this was what was happening behind the scenes. Was it perhaps so that he could see where he could use his many influential votes to his benefit? This may have been the reason that some said that the counting took an unreasonable time. He should have been ejected from the counting room with a swift K. You don’t need to be a member of the United Nations to understand that this was very undemocratic and illegal. We were not allowed to vote against his nominees, so what gives him and his nominees the right to vote in an influential way against the democratically put forward nominees? The accepted worldwide system of voting is universal suffrage – in other words “one man, one vote” and this was far from it. Think about it. How many democratically elected directors do we have? Easy, just ask the developer. I was told that at least one had so many votes that they could do nothing.
This brings me to another important issue. I, like many other home owners, have a copy of the Articles of Association. I gave my copy to an advocate pal of mine who advise us to take action against this in a court of law as it is unacceptably biased against the majority of us members. This advocate assured me, that this document will not, if contested, stand up in a court of law.
Ask our neighbours the home owners of Meyersdal View they chucked him out and won a court case against him.
Any owners who wish to join me to start this action please would you ask them, if you can forward their names on to me. Thanks you Ciarra. I’m sure that if asked and are made aware of this situation many will come forward to fight this injustice.
I am tired of having this developer pushing us the majority around.
THE TAIL IS WAGGING THE DOG – this shouldn’t happen and it is time for the tail to go.
