But the latest issues stem from disgruntled homeowners taking issue with the homeowners' association members, who they say are taking unilateral decisions adversely affecting them. The leading disagreement is the decision to introduce new short-term lending terms. Reuben Phala from LN Motimele Attorneys, which is representing disgruntled owners, outlined the nature of the dispute.
Phala said that on July 23, the HOA decided to terminate STL1 and introduce STL2 - which had “adverse terms such as double levies, a R2,500 deposit ... and blocked access [to some facilities] for short-term lending guests”.
