and this matter has been escalated to the appropriate authorities as part of the trustees' fiduciary duties. It is crucial that all involved parties, including other property owners, are treated with respect.

**Cancellation of Body Corporate Management:** After various malpractices were brought to your attention, the decision to cancel the body corporate management in the middle of the financial year has added to our concerns. There has been clear misuse and abuse of body corporate funds, particularly with the engagement of unskilled contractors recommended by Greg Howard, the owner of First Property Trust. For instance, the ceiling repairs at Unit 9, costing R8,000, failed within three months, resulting in wasted expenses. Additionally, R50,000 was spent on CCTV and floodlights, but the lights are already non-functional, leading to duplicated costs.

**Unauthorized Debit of Funds:** In 2023, Debbie debited funds for workmanship from the body corporate without the approval of the trustees or chairman. The same issue occurred again in 2024, without any consent or knowledge, as there was no chairman’s report. When this was questioned, Greg Howard canceled the body corporate management, again in the middle of the financial year. This matter has been raised with SARS and CSOS, and we await their expertise on this and the confusing situation regarding an unknown SGM. I suggest consulting your Fidelity Fund Certificate Holder for appropriate knowledge and training or reporting this matter to the property practitioners' regulatory authorities.

**Irregularities in Chairman’s Report:** Furthermore, there was no chairman's report for 2023. Debbie misled all owners by approving an overpayment of R90,000 to Tshwane without a chairman's report and appointed an ex-chairman in 2023, despite the absence of a vote of no confidence. This situation is highly irregular and concerning.

We trust that you will take these matters seriously and address them without further delay. We ask that you refrain from any form of bullying or harassment, as this matter has been raised with the relevant authorities. We look forward to your prompt attention to these issues.
