08 June 2022 - NW1968
Steyn, Ms A to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
Whether she will appeal the court judgment in the Ingonyama Trust Board case; if not, what steps did she take to ensure that the tenure rights of the residents of KwaZuluNatal who are living on the Ingonyama Trust land are secured; if so, what are the reasons for appealing the judgment?
Reply:
No. The Minister will not appeal the Judgment. The Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) filed an implementation plan in court to address the order against the Minister. Furthermore, DALRRD is also filing three-monthly reports with the court as ordered.
