Question posted in the Property Law category relating to Gauteng

Good day,
I am one of 4 trustees who support a sectional title complex in Tswane who have been told by our managing agent we need to do the following for our annual AGM planned for later in May

a) Elect a neutral chair person for the AGM
b) change the venue to a neutral one (not at the premises of the current chair)
c) include a general section on the agenda

This was requested by one individual of the body corporate. My questions are as follows;

a) should all of the above be done even if it comes from a single owner?

b) we have given the body corporate 1 months notice to add items to the agenda and then to stick to the agenda To ensure a conducive meeting environment. These meetings are often hijacked by unplanned topics fueled by personal emotion which is the as reason why we would prefer not to have a general section. Are we forced to comply to this persons request?
