HOA NEWSLETTER
MESSAGE FROM THE ESTATE MANAGER
JULY 2025
Welcome to the latest edition of the HOA Newsletter, keeping you informed about what is happening in and around our estate.
As your Estate Manager, it is a privilege to witness the vibrant daily life within our community. Even with the cooler weather setting in, it is wonderful to see residents continuing to enjoy the estate – walking, cycling and staying active. We encourage everyone to explore and discover what Eye of Africa has to offer.
The Racquet Club facilities are almost completed and launch details will be shared soon. The completion of food and ablution facilities is now in progress.
The new sewer is anticipated to be completed within the next few weeks
ESTATE AGENTS POLICY
Residents will have noted recent HOA communication regarding the Estate Agents Policy and Procedures. As part of our ongoing efforts to maintain the safety, privacy, and high standards of living within the Eye of Africa we have recently updated the policy and access procedures.
The policy has been implemented to uphold the standards of the estate and to ensure consistency in the marketing of properties across all platforms. Should residents or agents require any additional information, please contact Celeste at the HOA office or via email: plans@eyeofafricahoa.co.za.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Preparation of the 2025 AGM is currently underway, with the Annual Financial Statements being drafted. We aim to host the AGM any time between August-October. Firm dates will be communicated nearer the time.
While the estate remains our primary focus, the HOA also monitors the surrounding areas that our residents pass through daily.
We sincerely appreciate the residents who volunteer their time to help clean and maintain these spaces – it is this communiity spirit that truly makes a difference.
A special thank you to Nicole Gerber for organising the recent Eikenhof corner clean-up. Her efforts not only helped improve the area but also ensured the children were fed, and local informal vendors were supported.
We would also like to acknowledge Catherine Drysdale for her ongoing kindness in providing food for the EOA ground staff – a gesture that does not go unnoticed. This community-mindedness is what strengthens and uplifts our estate. Let’s continue to support and inspire one another.
HOA FLEET ADDITION
We are proud to announce the acquisition of a Fire Truck for our HOA. In light of the increased number of fires around the estate over the past two years, this investment was deemed both necessary and timely to enhance our community’s safety and emergency response capabilities. Training of 24-7 Security and HOA personnel is in progress.
UPCOMING EVENTS
26 JULY 2025
University of Johannesburg has selected 60 students to visit and hike at Eye of Africa, as part of an educational activity for a group of urban and regional planning students.
The goal is to provide students with a comprehensive learning experience in a real-world setting which will allow students to better appreciate how urban planning decisions impact the environment and quality of life.
We are proud to assist and showcase what the Estate has to offer.
INTER-SCHOOL MTB LEAGUE

Eye of Africa has been selected to host Race #3 in this premier Gauteng event. The race is open to all public and private high schools from U13-U19 age categories, with full support from Schools Cycling SA.
Not only does this afford us the opportunity to showcase EOA and our magnificent trails, but also to play a role in inspiring the champions of tomorrow.
Residents are welcome to come and support the event which will move to Steyn City for the next race.
Entry info: cyclelabsmtbseries.co.za – Entrants may only ride for the school under which they have registered.
ESTATE RULES – SPEEDING
Speeding within the estate continues to be a challenge. Despite controls already implemented, the estate rules continue to be disregarded. The primary reason for addressing the speeding issue is to ensure that our roads are safe and that the potential for vehicle and pedestrian accidents – especially involving children – is reduced.
WE URGE RESIDENTS TO ADHERE TO THE 40KMPH
SPEED LIMIT ON ESTATE ROADS.
We encourage all residents to visit our community website at www.eoacommunity.co.za to access important estate documents, contact information, previous newsletters, and a calendar of upcoming events for our residents.
A reminder that the HOA team is committed and available to assist residents of Eye of Africa, whether addressing maintenance issues, organising community events, or implementing new initiatives to enhance our living experience.
Warm regards
Gavin Steyl
