ANC in KZN throws its hat in with the crown to accelerate rural development: ANC KwaZulu-Natal officials have met members of the Ingonyama Trust board after the king promised to use the trust to champion rural development.
The provincial secretary said towns and townships located on land controlled by the trust needed municipalities and the board to align plans and fulfil mandates and responsibilities laid down in law for the benefit of communities.
"Part of the agreement is also to resolve obstructions to the passing of freehold land ownership to persons in former black townships," Mtolo said. The ANC and the board's focus, according to Mtolo, was to ensure the close to 3.3-million hectares of communally owned land was protected in a manner that would not impede access to it for economic development purposes, nor in a manner that would prevent occupants thereof to gain the full benefit of this valuable asset.
"This will help create certainty for potential investors who must partner with local communities for ... development. It should not be more complicated to do business in our province than it is in other provinces," said Mtolo.
