I received an email from Dik asking me to pay my current year maintenance fee, I replayed asking if the meant 2015 since I already paid my 2014 fees. Never got a response, so as the Beatles say I will Let it Be! Thanks for the info!

Update on Dikhololo, I sent them back my shares, I still had original paperwork. I recieved a letter saying we no longer owned shares. No hard feelings on either side like previous posters, we were happy with the trades, but all things come to an end.

A few years ago I sold a Durban Sands week on the SA equivalent to Ebay,
BidorBuy. Might still be an option especially if you put it at a low enough price to cover costs. If your yearly fees are in arrears that might be a problem because you or the new buyer might have to make those payments. You could at least browse around the site.

First Resorts is the management company for Bushmen's Nek. They would not "buy back" my studio, but I wonder if they will accept my offer to give the deed back to them?

Doesn't hurt to try.
After all, so many have just 'walked away.'

I've hung in there with Sudwala because so far the management does a good job and is improving the resort and the exchange rate is excellent. So my TPU are pretty low cost.
