31 March 2022 - NW565
Khawula, Ms MS to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
What progress has been made in resolving the administrative challenges relating to the management of the Ingonyama Trust Board; (2) whether King Misuzulu Zulu has been given the powers associated with being the sole trustee since the Ingonyama Trust Act declares that Ingonyama is the sole trustee of the Board; if not, why not; if so, what are the further relevant details?
Reply:
1. In order to resolve the administrative challenges relating to the management of the Ingonyama Trust Board, the Department of Agriculture Land Reform and Rural Development has seconded one official at the Chief Financial Officer level to assist with the Financial Management functions;
(2) No, Ingonyama as Trustee of Ingonyama Trust does not need to be given powers by anybody since such powers are conferred upon Ingonyama by the KwaZulu-Natal Ingonyama Trust Act No. 3KZ of 1994.
