Ingonyama Trust willing to take land battle to The Hague

King Goodwill Zwelithini. Picture: THE TIMES

The Ingonyama Trust Act was signed on the eve of the 1994 elections to allow the IFP to partake in those polls. The act parcelled about 2.8-million hectares of land under the administration of Ingonyama Trust Board . “The court papers are now ready and we believe that we have strong case. If we fail in SA courts we are even ready to approach international courts such as the International Criminal Court [in The Hague, Netherlands] because we cannot allow this land to be expropriated without any compensation.

DA KwaZulu-Natal leader Zwakele Mncwango said his party believes that the land under the trust must be given to the people, who must also be handed title deeds. He said this must be done in a manner that does not alienate the Zulu king or the traditional leadership.
