With regard to the land holding register, the ITB could not clarify basis for the indicators and targets for this intervention. The Committee understood that only one register existed; that the ITB had to clarify certain measurable milestones over the year so that it could measure performance and progress towards realization of this strategic goal. Such milestones could relate to the addressing land holding related queries as per the findings of the Auditor-General during the 2010/11 audit report. 3.1.2 Support to traditional councils Traditional councils are crucial structures in relation to land management issues. When a transaction in land rights is to be executed, the traditional council having jurisdiction on a particular project area is required to give consent for that development. Empowerment of these structures to deal with land management issues is vital. Therefore, the ITB has planned to empower a total of 23 of the 249 traditional councils that form part of the Ingonyama Trust. Such an empowerment programme would focus on land management and related issues. It is anticipated that this programme would advance the cause of ITB in the implementation of community and social upliftment of projects; administration of funds accrued to traditional councils; management, disbursement and accounting of the funds; and land management skills.
