1.5       It is the sole responsibility of the Members to familiarize themselves with the stipulations of the Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association of the CHOA and furthermore to ensure that their families, friends, visitors and their contractors and employees comply with the Rules.

5.1.2          Members are responsible for ensuring that any party given access to the Estate complies with the terms       and conditions of the Constitution and with all regulations of the Association and its Executive Committee.

5.1.3          Members are liable for the acts or omissions of their employees, visitors, pets, animals or family members,       which may cause any form of damage to the property or any valuables of the Estate. The Executive       Committee is entitled to impose disciplinary action and claim damages against the Member as if the       infringement had been committed by the Member himself.

5.1.4          A large number of residents and / or employees in the Estate is undesirable and not in the interests of game       conservation or the Association. Exemptions to this condition may only be allowed with the prior written       consent of the Executive Committee subject to such conditions and fees stipulated by the Executive       Committee.

5.1.5          Flora may not be damaged or removed from any part of the Estate or an Open Space area without the       written approval of the Executive Committee. This includes removal or damage of plants, rocks or any part       of the property in the Estate and specifically the collection of firewood.

5.1.6          Members may not introduce any flora unless indigenous to the Estate.

5.2.4          Feeding of wild animals is strictly forbidden as this could result in habituation to humans. Nesting logs in       trees are encouraged, and bird feeders may be placed in trees or high enough above the ground so larger       fowl (Geese, Guinea Fowl) cannot gain access to these feeders.   The reason being that these larger fowl       and monkeys can become “problem animals” especially in times of drought. If these animals do become a       problem the Estate would have to remove or have them destroyed which is as a direct consequence of       feeding.

5.2.6          The Farm owner retains the right to farm with game on the Estate.

5.3.2          No Member shall apply directly to any statutory authority for any hunting permit and any permit issued by       such statutory authority as a result of a direct application by any Member shall for the purposes of this Code       of Conduct be of no force or effect, so that any game shot under such permit shall constitute a breach of       the provisions of this Code of Conduct.

5.3.3         Any Member who kills or wounds any game other than in accordance with the terms of a valid permit which       has been approved by the Association and which has not been withdrawn by the Association, or unless he       acts clearly in self defense, shall be liable to the Association, in addition to any fines or penalties imposed       on him terms of any other provisions of this Constitution or other statutory penalties that may be imposed       upon him, for a compensatory fine of an amount not exceeding the commercial value of the animal or       animals so killed or harmed, such value to be determined by the Executive Committee who shall be       deemed to be acting as experts and whose decision shall be final and binding. Furthermore, any permit       granted to the Member concerned shall have deemed to have been withdrawn forthwith and such Member       shall not be taken into account in determining the hunting permit allocations for the following year, or such       extended period as the Executive Committee may in its sole discretion determine.

5.4.4          No carnivorous or large animal will be released that can pose a real danger to any person walking within the       Estate (the dangers inherent in walking with non-predatory and non-aggressive species do not constitute       ‘real danger’). No animal or plant will be released that can adversely affect any existing populations in the       Estate through disease, cross breeding, or genetic defects. However, note must be taken that this is a       Leopard territorial area and part of the conservation purpose is to preserve these animals.

5.4.5          In the event that it is desired to release any of the following species, unanimous approval from all members       for the release must be gained and the Chairman and the Executive Committee must both register that       approval in the Release Register.

     Elephant

     White Rhinoceros

     Black Rhinoceros

     Cape Buffalo

     Nile Crocodile

     Spotted Hyena

In such an       event the fire must be controlled and limited to a designated area (to be decided on by the Estate       Management, with the approval of the Executive Committee).

5.5.2          The Executive Committee is responsible for organising the necessary burning permits and carrying out the       burn.  Residents and neighbors will be notified by distributed pamphlets informing them of the Estate’s       intent to burn.
