Land under Ingonyama Trust is safe, no one will touch it’ – ANC KZN dispels reports of land seizure

[rvZA]

ANC bosses in KwaZulu-Natal have assured traditional leaders in the province that there are no plans to seize land belonging to the Ingonyama Trust.

ANC KZN secretary Bheki Mtolo has refuted reports that seek to create an impression that there are plans seize the trust's land.

Mtolo said media reports are citing the ANC’s integrity commission and an old report of the high level panel headed by former president Kgalema Motlanthe.

“This report was rejected by delegates who were decisive during the 54th ANC National Conference. Nothing has changed. We, therefore, wish to inform the people of KwaZulu-Natal, and Amakhosi in particular, that there is no plan to interfere with the land under the Ingonyama Trust. Such reckless reports must be rejected and categorised as cheap propaganda aimed at creating social instability,” Mtolo said in a statement issued on Tuesday.

Mtolo said no land parcel belonging to the Ingonyama Trust Board would be seized.

“The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal can therefore confirm to the Ingonyama Trust Board, traditional leaders izinduna and all communities that the land under the Ingonyama Trust is safe and no one will touch it. The ANC will remain the first line of defence of our land which belongs to the indigenous black people,” he said.

Not many title deeds there.

And this is the land that they’re supposed to be expropriating and giving title deeds to the residents in the name of empowerment.

The ANC will remain the first line of defence of our land which belongs to the indigenous black people,” he said.

“In this meeting, President Ramaphosa clarified the position of the ANC and the ANC-led government on the issue of the Ingonyama Trust. He informed the king that land expropriation does not include the 13% under the Ingonyama Trust - which is controlled by traditional leaders and black people in particular. The land which is targeted is 87%. This is the land [that] must be returned to the indigenous people who remain marginalised,” he said.

That is a promise, and the Zulu king will remember that promise.

So EWC will cover all the land minus the patches held by the Zulu monarch?

The Zulu monarch also promised the people title deeds, but that has proven to be a challenge... I won't know I only know what is reported in the news, but apparently the Ingonyama Trust is very insistent on leases and having those leases honoured.

People on the land lease it and make payment, yet tax pax payer's who have zero connection to any tribe have to pay for their lavish lifestyle as well.
