Tensions continue between the Ingonyama Trust Board and the AmaZulu King Misuzulu kaZwelithini. This, after King Misuzulu halted a planned three-day strategic engagement forum of the Ingonyama Trust Board with traditional authorities, citing that, as the Chairperson, he was not informed about the meeting.
The King is the sole trustee of the Trust, which administers nearly 3 million hectares of communal land in the province. The meeting was set to discuss land administration, governance and development matters in the province.
The tug of war over leadership authority between the Ingonyama Trust Board and the AmaZulu King continues, following King Misuzulus decision to halt a meeting between the Trust and traditional authorities.
