@wayde_september Absolutely NOT legal without a court order! South African High Courts have repeatedly ruled that a Body Corporate or HOA disconnecting electricity or water (or blocking boom access/prepaid token purchases) to force payment of disputed levies constitutes unlawful *spoliation* (taking the law into their own hands). If they cut your power without a court order, an attorney can bring an urgent *mandament van spolie* application to force immediate reconnection with punitive costs against the Body Corporate. Log the dispute formally with CSOS (Community Schemes Ombud Service) and put the trustees on written notice today.
