It is most unfortunate that this platform is used to express your dissatisfaction with the outcome of a Special General Meeting (SGM) held.
Whitfields certainly did not call the Special General Meeting of owners; we simply facilitated the process as any good Managing Agent would do.
As indicated to you at the SGM held, any person may declare a dispute with the CSOS, which you may still do!
Owners may also call a Special General Meeting in terms of the requirements of the Prescribed Management Rules of the Sectional Titles Schemes Management Act (STSMA) but cannot vote on matters that are contrary to these very Rules and the STSMA.
As explained at the SGM, the MEMBERS decided on the manner of billing of electricity at a previous AGM, long before our appointment as Managing Agents and the members may also decide at the next AGM to reflect the billing of electricity differently. Whitfields do not read the meters, pass estimates nor are we party to the calculations for the electricity charges either as this is done by an external meter reading service provider, employed by the scheme.
We will gladly liaise with you in terms of perceived promises that were made that have not been fulfilled to your satisfaction but lying is certainly not part of what we stand for as a Company.
Please talk to us.
The Whitfields Team
Best regards,
