In sectional title governance, decision-making often involves several layers and formal steps. This blog focuses on one useful mechanism within the Sectional Titles Schemes Management Act (STSMA) that allows members to pass special or unanimous resolutions without calling a meeting. This process is commonly referred to as a round robin.
Community living is meant to bring people together, to share costs, create safe environments, and protect the value of everyone’s investment. Yet, within many sectional title schemes, the very structures intended to promote order can sometimes become a source of tension.
In January 2021, the High Court of South Africa delivered a landmark decision in what has become known as The Paddocks case. The judgment confirmed that a body corporate can prevent owners from using their units for short-term Airbnb rentals if such use is prohibited under validly adopted Conduct Rules.
Spring is in the air, the sun is shining brighter, and for us at Sectional Title Solutions, Bright Light and the wider STS Group, this season is about more than blossoms and warmer days, it’s about honouring our ongoing commitment to protecting one of South Africa’s most iconic species: the rhino.
There are journeys that go beyond the kilometres covered, journeys that light the way for future generations. The Thomson Smillie Foundation’s 2025 Cycle Race, taking riders from Pontdrift Border Gate on 1 September all the way to Fish Hoek, Cape Town on 12 September, is one such journey. More than a test of endurance, it is a ride filled with purpose: raising awareness and support for education, while carrying the powerful message that “We are the Flame.”
The implementation of the 2025 CSOS Consolidated Practice Directive is certainly a step forward, in harmonising the growing need for community living, and ensuring that vital principles of legality and fairness are being upheld.
