About the Association
A formally governed, politically neutral civic institution serving Leondale & Roodekop since 2024.
Who We Are
The Leondale & Roodekop Ratepayers' Association is a formally constituted civic organisation representing property owners, tenants, and businesses in Leondale and Roodekop, Ekurhuleni.
We are not a protest group or a WhatsApp community. We are a registered, constituted institution with a comprehensive governance framework, an elected Executive Committee, and a Legal Defense Fund — built to protect this community for decades.
We engage the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality procedurally, with documentation, legal awareness, and structured escalation — never emotionally.
Our Governance Structure
The Association operates a three-chamber governance model.
Executive Chamber
A strategic leadership body of 7–9 elected members responsible for day-to-day operations and decision-making.
Chairperson · Deputy Chairperson · Secretary · Treasurer · Legal & Compliance Lead · Infrastructure Lead · Safety Lead · Technology & Data Lead · Community Engagement Lead
Advisory Council
A non-governing panel of respected professionals — attorneys, engineers, urban planners, finance professionals, and security experts — who advise the EXCO.
Community Assembly
All registered members form the democratic authority. The Assembly votes on levies, litigation, major infrastructure initiatives, and CID formation.
What We Stand For

All financial records and decisions are published to members.
Accountability
We hold the Municipality and ourselves to the same standard.

No office bearer may hold political office or party leadership.
