In this episode of Fitzanne’s Property Exchange, host Pearl Scheltema speaks with Dilen Heerschop, Attorney at Heerschop Pienaar Incorporated Attorneys, to unpack the newly released CSOS Consolidated Practice Directive 1 of 2025—a landmark update reshaping the governance of community schemes in South Africa. This directive consolidates all previous CSOS guidelines into one comprehensive framework, introducing clearer compliance requirements, an expanded list of undesirable rules, and strengthened enforcement measures.
What do these changes mean for trustees, managing agents, and property owners? And how can schemes adapt to ensure they’re not only compliant but thriving under the new regulatory landscape?
Dilen, a specialist in community scheme law and governance, breaks down the legal framework, highlights the most impactful updates, and explains how these will play out in practice. He also shares practical strategies for staying ahead—avoiding costly disputes, protecting owners’ rights, and maintaining operational efficiency in a more regulated environment.
This episode aims to equip listeners with the clarity and confidence they need to navigate this “new normal” in property governance—because at Fitzanne Estates, we believe everyone has the right to a safe and secure home.
