Shared responsibility will be the focus for this year's CSOS Indaba

Government, industry experts and key stakeholders will come together in Fourways, Gauteng, later this month, for a two-day indaba to engage over governance, accountability and inclusive development in communal housing.

The Community Schemes Ombud Service (CSOS) initiated the Indaba as a standing platform for engagement and education around community schemes such as sectional title bodies, home­owners’ associations, share-block companies, retirement villages and housing cooperatives.

The third annual CSOS indaba aims to explore governance challenges in community schemes, to share best practices, opening space for dialogue on dispute resolution, compliance and reform, amongst others.

The theme “Sustainable Governance: Shared Responsibility as the Cornerstone of Community Schemes,’’ reminds us that community living is not simply about infrastructure, but about systems, culture, transparency and accountability.

Minister of Human Settlements, Thembi Simelane, will deliver the keynote address, with the intension to forge closer alignment between national housing policy and the lived realities of community schemes.

The event will be held at The Canvas, Riversands, Fourways on 23-24 October 2025.
