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.

Ostriches
Having leaved in Outshoorn for many years I consider these creatures domestic animals. I don't think they would fit in with our estate. Yes, they are very dangerous when they have young or eggs to protect. My vote - NO!

Killer ostriches
I do agree with Martin that these birds are dangerous and perhaps more dangerous than the two legged, skirted ones without feathers. When they have young chicks they have even been known to attack lone lions. We should think of some other species of game.

Feeb back on the animals
In answer to Ou suinig's letters of 16 and 22 November. Martin Wolmarans was so kind as to provide us with the following answer.
Good Day Ciarra
The following animals were caught and sold to the nature estate:
Eland 24
Black Wilde bees 21
Blesbok – 15
The following new game were added recently:
Livingston Eland 5
Waterbuck – 6 (Has anyone noticed them?)
We would like to add as many as possible different types of species on the farm which is also part of our short – long term (5 year plan).
For each and every new game species we want to add on the farm we need to apply for a permit from the Nature Conservation. They will advise if we are allowed to have the specified species or not. It is all about the individual habitat of the specific animals. For example I approached them for a permit on the Nalas which they declined as this is not their natural habitat.
Your question relating to the ostrich we will have to apply for a permit however do we really want them as we could face a problem especially with our kids running around freely on the Eco estate - it could be dangerous to them.
I hope all our nature lovers noted that we planted 65 trees on the estate over the last two weeks. As well as the fish have arrived and all the dams are properly stocked with a combination of Tilapias. See pictures attached.
If you would like more detail regarding the game please contact me on the following numbers below.
Kind Regards,
Martin Wolmarans

It’s not the Starship Enterprise
In answer to Snoopy’s letter of 22 Nov 2010.
That is not the Starship Enterprise, it is the new venue for the 2011 academy awards.
