Dear Residents
National
Women's Day in South Africa is a powerful day for equal rights. In South Africa, August is Women's Month - and each year August 9th is celebrated as Women's Day. Women's Day celebrates the strength and resilience of women and their contribution to society and country.
MCHA STANDARD MONTHLY LEVY AND SPECIAL LEVY
As of 01 April 2022, the MCHA standard monthly levy was increased to R1,500.00 per month per household. In addition, thereto, a special levy of R232.00 per month was introduced to build a reserve of R600,000 by December 2023. In total, the monthly payment per household is R1732,00. MCHA would like to remind residents to please give Coleman Properties permission to adjust their monthly debit order, as per the new figures, if they have not already done so.
MONTHLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION
OUSTANDING LEVIES
There are residents whose accounts are significantly in arrears:
1 resident x R8,300.00
1 resident x R7,300.00
1 resident x R6,500.00
1 resident x R6 300,00
1 resident x R5 800,00
4 residents x R3 500,00
4 residents x R2 200,00
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 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 and until he
shall have paid every levy, special levy and interest thereto which may be due and
payable by that member to the Association, from whatsoever cause arising.
