Sectional Title ownership is by far the most popular form of home ownership in South Africa. To nurture the growth in the industry and to meet the challenges of an ever-changing environment in which managing agents operate, it has become necessary to adequately train professionals to effectively manage the affairs of sectional title schemes and homeowners’ associations. It is also an imperative that trustees are better skilled and informed about their management and fiduciary responsibilities to the body corporate and the advantages of employing a professional manager.
