Join NAMA

Community Schemes ownership is by far the preferred form of home ownership in South Africa. Before NAMA, Managing Agents had no common voice, nor could they make representations to the authorities on any aspect, or claim legitimacy, concerning their industry. To fulfil NAMA’s objectives and to promote the benefits of membership, the founding members took a decision in March 2004 to restructure the Association and to register NAMA as a Section 21 Company (now NPC).  In consultation with Managing Agents countrywide and with legal authorities on Community Schemes, the Association completed a National Constitution, Code of Conduct, Code of Ethics, Articles of Association and Memorandum of Incorporation, which today govern the operations of the Association. Part of NAMA’s focus is the development and presentation of a core professional training programme for Managing Agents and candidate Managing Agents, as well as producing education material, and opportunities for members, associate members and trustees. Training events and seminars are being held nationally to ensure that training remains ongoing and relevant. Another important component of NAMA’s service to Community Schemes owners and occupiers is to generate consumer confidence and recognition of the Association’s objectives and ideals, leading to credibility for the profession in the public domain.  NAMA is well positioned to assisting Community Schemes in appointing a professional managing agent, by directing governing body members to professional and accredited Managing Agents in their region. NAMA provided an exclusive platform to its Affiliate and Corporate Members whereby attending events they can market and promote their services directly to the industry role players such as Managing Agents, Trustees and Owners.

These platforms include

1. Training Seminars
2. Workshops
3. The National Conference
4. Social events such as golf days
5. The NAMA News which is distributed monthly to all members
