Central Development and Cosmopolitan Projects Property Group, CSI including Aragon Group/Khusela are a ****.

Central Development and Cosmopolitan Projects Property Group including Aragon Group/Khusela are a ****. They are working hand in hand with Aragon Khusela and CSI to explote homeowners through unreasonable fines. The current estate manager at Lion Pride Lifestyle Estate lacks empathy and he is ********* in his approach. His attitude is worrying. He has no management skills. He treats homeowners as if they are his tenants. He also uses Aragon Khusela for his hidden agenda. I no longer know whether this security company serves the homeowners' interest or CSI interest. A change is inevitable. Sadly, he manages an estate where more than 95% of the residents are Africans. He has no idea of Black lived experience. He is imposing his western ideas on Africans and no one is challenging him. This needs to STOP. I wonder if Central Development and Cosmopolitan Projects Property Group are aware of this malicious behavior.

Lion Pride Lifestyle Estate is no longer the property we signed up for. The estate manager and Aragon Group/Khusela are wreaking mayhem. They are fining households for minor infractions such as children playing football at the park and dogs barking. Remember, this is a pet-friendly estate.These two wings have forgotten that we employed them. They are working for homeowners. They treat us as if we are inmates at a correctional facility. Think twice before purchasing property at Lion Pride Lifestyle Estate, as some homeowners are already selling their properties and renting them out. They use a device I did not know to measure how loud a dog is barking and fined me.

Central Development and Cosmopolitan Projects Property Group, CSI, and Aragon Group/Khusela!!! What is going on here???

Just imagine, these ****** are persistent with the fine. Their estate manager (Jedri Koekemoer) and assistant estate manager (Sarah Kubheka).

Below is the correspondence. Please pet *****s, don't purchase property at Lion Pride Lifestyle Estate. I call it Lion Pride Hell in an Estate Lifestyle.

Good day (me),

This is an official dispute of a fine levied against me, the owner of unit 20771, for a dog barking. The rules you cited are not applicable to the dog causing noise disturbance. Since my arrival at Lion Pride, I have never been penalised for a dog making a noise. I used to own two dogs, but now I just have one. How am I supposed to stop a dog from barking in my absence? Some Lion Pride residents own dogs, and they constantly bark. I've never had a problem with this because I know it's dog-friendly estate. Is this estate a pet-friendly or not. Can the rules quoted be properly defined.

I thank you.

Ticket should not be closed as I do not agree with your conclusion.

Hi Simthembile,

Pet friendly means that it is an estate that allows for people to keep specified animals as pets. Allowing the access of pets does not negate the responsibility of an owner to take action when their pet is a potential nuisance.

rules 2.7.12. At all times, and particularly at night, pets must not create a disturbance or a nuisance and should not be left unattended.

Similarly, if a dog gets out of the yard and attacks a pedestrian the owner cannot simply deny responsibility because the animal was not under there direct supervision.

There are plenty of owners who likewise have dogs that do not cause an issue when the owner is not home.

Kind Regards,
Jedri Koekemoer
