Interesting, do you rent out your home for extra income?

A recent High Court ruling is sending a clear message to bodies corporate and estates across South Africa.

When legal costs attached to levy recovery start to far exceed the actual arrears, the courts are increasingly willing to step in and question whether the process remains fair, transparent, and proportionate.

In this case, a homeowner owing just under R18,000 in levies faced legal costs nearly five times that amount, leading the court to refuse to grant immediate judgment.

This judgment raises important questions for trustees and managing agents about oversight, governance, and the limits of enforcement in community schemes.

UPDATE | SOUTH AFRICA - Expected fuel price increases for May have been revised slightly downward, offering limited relief to motorists.

Petrol under-recoveries have improved by approximately 67%, with current projections indicating an increase of around R2.29 per litre for Petrol 93 and R2.63 for Petrol 95. Diesel under-recoveries have also improved by about 54%, although prices remain high.

Paraffin is expected to rise significantly, with an estimated increase of R6.52 per litre.

The adjustments are largely driven by elevated global oil prices, influenced by ongoing tensions in the Middle East and supply chain disruptions.

Final fuel price adjustments are expected to be confirmed on 6 May, with government also considering extending fuel tax relief measures.
