Staff management
Management of the staff rests SOLELY with the Board and its management structure All staff report directly to the farm manager who in in turn reports directly to the Board Shareholders MUST NOT deal with any staff members directly and MUST deal through the established channels Staff Quarters are “Out of Bounds” to shareholders
13
AGM - 2012 11th August 2012 11th August 2012
Staff management
Workmans’ Compensation
- Believed we were exempt
- No longer the case – we must comply
Fully registered Process of getting up to date – complete by year end
- ALL contractors on site must be covered.
We will evict contractors unless this can be proven
14
AGM - 2012 11th August 2012 11th August 2012
Unaccompanied Visitors
Discussed often in order to protect privacy and the shareholders assets Visitors MAY NOT visit the farm without a shareholder present A continual problem We will evict these visitors at great embarrassment to the particular shareholder
15
AGM - 2012 11th August 2012 11th August 2012 16
Security
An increasing problem in the area
- Farm attacks
- Death in front of the farm
Board request
- Install radios (fixed or mobile)
Fire Assist Intruder alert
- Link into the farm alarm
Response to Alarms
- Response by Farm Manager a problem from various aspects
- Police will be notified as will the shareholder concerned
Board is currently investigating a revamped security system
- Gate control – better access control
- Night patrols
- Signing in procedures
AGM - 2012 11th August 2012 11th August 2012
Shareholder Interference
Last Year - early
- Reported to the Dept of Labour, Lephahale
Municipality and the Building council
Not sure who reported this but definitely NOT the farm Directors nor Management Cost the Company R 136,000 to comply Question – Why not approach the Board??
17
AGM - 2012 11th August 2012 11th August 2012
Shareholder Interference
Last Year - Late
- We changed the bank accounts to FNB
- Received a letter incorrectly addressed to
me where shareholder stated:
“hulle maak my gat vol is jy seker die plaas bestuurder kry nie weer die geld nie”
- An initial denial ultimately resulted in a
lengthy apology received from the shareholder
18
AGM - 2012 11th August 2012 11th August 2012
Shareholder Interference
This year
- Again, an anonymous shareholder reported
us to Lephahlale municipality for non- compliance on building plans
- Many visits and a requirement to submit
plans for most of the dwellings
- Accusations that the “farm manager”
reported this to the municipality
Board cant find any evidence of this despite numerous calls and visits to the municipality
19
AGM - 2012 11th August 2012 11th August 2012
Shareholder Interference
- Another letter was incorrectly sent to the board wherein a shareholder
states: “Hierdie botteltjie gif van my het hulle aangevat tot Oom Daantjie in die
- kalwerhok. Tot Lepalale se baas het so groot geskrik, hy sal sorg dat Andre vir
- ns a brief vir verskoning stuur! Want sien sy het toe mos uitgevind dis die
*&#*&% Andre Cochrane wat ‘n klag teen ons gaan le het” ALMAL wat hom Grief gee. Ons het a klomp goed vir John Hills gegee (maar hy weet nie wat
- ns alreeds gedoen het nie). Maar jy moet ook ASB navraag doen oor hierdie
saak.
- Board requested a meeting with the sender and recipient of this letter
and offered to meet in Pretoria – their place of residence – to better understand the situation.
- Response: “It is inconvenient for us to meet the Board in Pretoria so please
meet at the farm” Further they stated “that this smacked of a Secret Meeting” and requested that we call a General Meeting
- The Board took exception, not only to the tone but the implied
allegations and wrote an appropriate letter to the relevant shareholder and indicated to him that we have no alternative but to inform the Shareholder body.
- To date, we have not received any response

The Offending Shareholders
Willie Vos Wynand Mulder

AGM - 2012 11th August 2012 11th August 2012
Shareholder Interference
Appeal to Shareholders
- Having private correspondence between
shareholders about Company matters serves little purpose, undermines the Board, wastes time and money, and is often based
- n unsubstantiated rumour.
- Please, work through the Board on all
shareholder matters
- To avoid such situations in future and
wasting the Board’s time and the shareholders’ money
22
AGM - 2012 11th August 2012 11th August 2012
New Companies Act
A key focus of this years’ results Worked in conjunction with the Auditors, Board and Audit Committee (Attie Du Plessis and Willie Botha)
- Ensured full compliance
- Produced a set of accounts that contains both the
new format and the old format
- MOI to replace old Articles - draft circulated but
considered too cumbersome and will retabled in more readable format at next AGM
A Vote of thanks to the Audit Committee and especially Willie for his valuable help and guidance

Status Report
43
Hunting permitted during weekends Title deeds rather than shares Allow members to put something
- nto the agenda at the meeting
and not only before Levies disproportionate to the minimum services supplied on the farm Road to houses on west side deeper into farm away from road Change levy base to m2 of house Sectional Title
- Convert to Sectional Title ( 2 )
Diesel on the farm available to buy
Not Feasible Work in Progress
Syndicates
- Implement syndicates
- Reason for syndicates is to keep
costs down
- Syndicates create a "Time Share"
character Revised structure for suggestions & transparecy in suggestions
- Formal
Check cleaning done properly Confirm cleaning requests Removal of all unsightly materials - Wrecks, building materials, evidence of building construction ( 2 ) More ideas to upgrade farm - eg full- time restaurant & pub over holidays Storage of building material in designated hidden area
