Last special meeting

I was at the last special meeting in March and as a fairly new resident, I was amazed at the dislike shown towards the board. At the time, I thought it very “Jo’burgite” but now realized that all is not well. If I had knew that the composition of the board was at the call of the developer for ever and ever, Amen, then I would have rather bought somewhere else. There will be never peace in this estate as long as this situation is not reversed. The estate that I lived in Durbs was the most peaceful environment, and yet, I come to Johannesburg to what I thought was a top of the range estate, and all I find disenchantment.

I have not experience it before but people are angry about security, angry about the board, angry about more development in the estate, angry about things that professional people should have be able to resolve from the start.

My wife and kids work on my case about wanting to go home to KZN. For business reasons I cannot do this for four years but, I hope for the day when this estate is run in such a way that people appreciate living here.

As said before, democracy must prevail. The Board must not be an extension of the developers a……..

Shark out of water (maybe).
