NAMA NEWS
ABOUT US
NAMA is a voluntary, Non-Profit organisation that promotes and advances the interest of Managing Agents and Community Scheme Management in South Africa…
ABOUT US
To nurture the growth in the industry and 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 communal housing schemes in addition, it is imperative that trustees and committees are better skilled and informed about their management and fiduciary responsibilities, relevant scheme development, and the advantages of employing a professional property manager.
Represented in 7 Regions with its headquarters in Pretoria, NAMA has more than 500 members consisting of three main categories:
Full Members
These are Managing Agents and have been admitted as members due to the fact that they exclusively render services as a Managing Agent and is duly registered with the Estate Agency Affairs Board and have been issued with a valid Fidelity Fund Certificate.

MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS
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.
