GENERAL  INFORMATION FROM  THE  DEVELOPER  REGARDING  THE  TWO  COURT CASES WHICH  WAS  LOST   BY  THE  WILDS  HOA

IN THE HIGH COURT OF SOUTH AFRICA

GAUTENG DIVISION  PRETORIA Case Number:  89624/2018   

IN THE HIGH COURT OF SOUTH AFRICA

GAUTENT DIVISION PRETORIA
(Court of Appeal) Case Number:   A278/2023            

JUDGMENT:

Two out of three judges in the High Court of Appeal have decided in favour of PJJ van Vuuren Beleggings (Pty) Ltd. (The Developer)

Keep in mind that this is the SECOND court to do so.

• High Court and 2. High Court of Appeal.)

This means that three out of the four judges have decided in favour of the Developer.

Full versions of the judgments of the abovementioned two court cases are available for your information on :  www.urbanc.co.za

BUSINESS INTERESTS  OF  THE  DEVELOPER  in THE  WILDS

1. The Developer owns 60 properties in The Wilds.
2. 50 Properties are being rented out
3. 10 erven in Lion’s Head must still be developed

The value of the properties amount to millions of rand.

Rental income per year amount to a few million rand per year.

For future developments the open erven are of a very high value.

FAMILY  MEMBERS,  FRIENDS   AND  TENANTS  IN   THE  WILDS

1. Family members and very close friends of the developer stay in The Wilds.
2. Tenants of 50    units/houses stay in the Wilds, of whom some for more than 15 years in the same property.

In light of the human related interests and business activities the developer has in The Wilds, he has no reason to “undermine the very security and exclusivity that makes The Wilds a secure estate”, as presented to you in the letter dated 25 September by The Wilds HOA.

He will not put  the  safety of  any of his tenants,  family members or co-owners at risk.

He will not create or undermine the very security or exclusivity of The Wilds for     any of his tenants, family members or co-owners.

He will notjeopardise his own business interests  and activities in The Wilds

The Directors of The Wilds HOA create an unnecessary sense of fear toit’s members regarding “Public Roads” and therefore the security of The Wilds by spreading ungrounded untrue and false statements against the developer and the judgment of the two separate courts.

Furthermore, with regards to the letter of The Wilds HOA, dated 25 September 2025:

“OUR FIGHT” is to protect the Wilds Estate from being turned into an open thoroughfare, ensuring our gates are not opened to the general public at the expense of resident’s safety, privacy and levy contribution.”

1. The Wilds HOA has already fought.  

In the High Court and in the High Court of Appeal.

2. And lost.
3.    -  AT THE EXPENSE OF MEMBERS OF THE WILDSHOA.

“OUR GATES”    

4. Not clear whether “our gates” include or exclude the developer, as he is also a member of The Wilds.

OPEN THOROUGHFARE:

5. There will be NO THOROUGHFARE AS THE SECURITY WILL STAY AS  IT  IS.
6. It is not possible that resident’s safety, or privacy can be endangered because the security will stay intact.

LEVY AND SECURITY CONTRIBUTION

7. The Developer showed his willingness and has tried to negotiate with The Wilds HOA regarding security   contributions, but without success.
8. With additional security contributions by the developer, there is no reason why any levies will be affected negatively. (Bearing in mind that the developer already pays monthly levies for the properties he owns,)

BACKGROUD OF TOWN ESTABLISHMENT

One of the decisions a developer must make when establishing a township is whether the roads must be public roads or private roads.

At that stage when the developer planned the township together with his professional team, the developer made the roads public roads even though it was a more expensive option.

The main reason was to PREVENT MAINTENANCE COSTS OF THE ROADS FOR THE WILDS  HOA The maintenance costs are for the account of the municipality of Tshwane.

It was also a decision of the developer to create the second line of security (double security)  to the separate extensions of  The Wilds ie:  Buffalo Creek, Rhino Ridge, Cheetah’s View, Lion’s Head, Elephant Hills,  and Leopard’s Den,  

FURTHER COMMUNICATION

A further letter by the Developer will in due course be sent to The Wilds HOA requesting the Board to send it’s letter to all members similarly as was done by the Board with their e-mail Notice to all owners dated 25 September 2025.

CONCLUSION

The security of The Wilds will not be downgraded at all due to the judgment declaring the roads as public roads.

Public roads will be to the benefit of the owners of The Wilds, as the maintenance thereof will be for the account of the municipality of Tshwane.

The Directors of the Board of The Wilds has cost the owners a substantial amount of money

due to the fact that The Wilds HOA has to pay all the legal costs of both parties for the two court cases they have lost.

The Developer did not cost any owner any money
