TRICK OR TREAT 2022

We would like to thank Teresa Figueirra of 10 Bateleur Street for always going the extra mile and opening her home for Trick or Treat.
WATER CONSERVATION
Water Consumption. Water is our most precious resource. We drink on an average of 4 litres per day, and it is an irreplaceable of our industry and agriculture. Indeed, it is the very heart of our existence. The importance of water management has dominated human history.
MCHA STANDARD MONTHLY LEVY AND SPECIAL LEVY R1732.00 PER MONTH
The Special Levy will remain in place until the next financial year as voted by residents at the AGM in August 2022. Residents are to contact and inform Coleman Properties should they not be receiving their monthly levy statement. The day to day running of the Estate is dependent on levies being paid by the 1st of every month. The monthly levy amount is R1 500,00 plus the special levy of R232,00 giving a total amount of R1 732,00.
MONTHLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION
OUSTANDING LEVIES
There are residents whose accounts are in arrears:
1 resident x R 5800,00
1 resident x R4 092,00
3 resident x R3 500,00
This is problematic for the cashflow management of the estate and defeats the purpose of what we aim to do, which is to maintain the estate in the best manner possible, keep the finances at a positive whilst building the reserve towards the targeted amount. We urge you to please bring these arrears up to date to avoid legal action. Please be reminded that the legal cost associated with pursuing this route will be for your accounts (the residents in arrears as per the Rules of the Estate and MOI), and hence we want to eliminate any and all unnecessary costs and effort by all parties, but if we have to, then we will pursue this option. In general, the MCHA Board of Directors have a better control on both the cash in and out flows and we aim to give you a more detailed update at the upcoming AGM (exact date still to be determined).
No member shall be entitled to any of the privileges of Membership unless all levies have been paid, special levy and interest thereto which may be due and payable by that member to MCHA, from whatsoever cause arising.
