The Ingonyama Trust Board is a statutory body operating as a schedule 3A entity in terms of the Public Fund Management Act. It focuses on administration of land in the former homeland of KwaZulu. Although the Ingonyama Trust Board strives to ensure sustainable land management, the absence of comprehensive land tenure legislation for the communal areas renders its function very complex and challenging. The Ingonyama Trust Board reported that it is set out to develop best practices to ensure that by 2025 all persons occupying its land shall have formal tenure in the form of a lease on surveyed land. This confronts a complex question about the best form of tenure system in communal areas.
