turnstiles and four at the contractor’s
entrance) will also be upgraded with
the same new readers that we already
replaced at the main gate.
- A few residents are paying their levies
with cash. With immediate e ect we
will not receive any cash payments as it
creates unnecessary risk. Residents may
still do cash payments at a bank.

• Mr Brendan Dysel, our security director,
has resigned, due to work pressure and
study obligations. Mr Ian Plaatjes, a
member of our security sub-committee,
has been co-opted and agreed to take
over his duties as security director
until the AGM, where residents will be
requested to elect him into this position.
Thank you for the hard work you have
done for the Estate since August 2018
when you joined the Board, Brendan!

• A sleep-in gardener stole a bakkie
from one of our residents and used the
resident’s card to exit the Estate. He was
later involved in a very serious collision
in Sunnyside. Please take care when
storing your car keys and, if you use a
card to enter and exit the Estate, be very
careful where you store that card, too.
Do not mark the card with something
like “Cornwall Hill” and please report any
lost or stolen card immediately so that
we can cancel it.
