Fallout Between King Misizulu And Ingonyama Board At Crisis Point

Parliaments Portfolio Committee on Rural Development and Land Reform says it needs to tread very carefully, when dealing with the fallout between the Ingonyama Trust Board, and the AmaZulu King.

This follows recent media reports about the suspension of the board members by the king.

Minister of Rural Development and Land Reform Mzwanele Nyhontso briefed the committee saying the situation has reached a crisis point.

According to Nyhontso, the dispute between the Ingonyama Trust Board ITB and King Misuzulu kaZwelithini needs to be resolved urgently. Nyhontso says they are currently dealing with allegations and counter-allegations and that no hard facts have been presented by the parties involved.

But he says it's clear, the ITB and the king cannot work together.
