Posted on Leave a comment

The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal has kicked off its provincial land summit to consolidate a position on how to go about expropriating privately owned land ahead of next week’s parliamentary hearings on land reform.

Provincial leaders have made it clear that the summit will deal with how to implement the governing party’s resolutions on expropriation of land without compensation and not with issues of land tenure and the future of land which falls under institutions like the Ingonyama Trust.

Traditional leaders are pissed off with Kgalema Motlanthe – He’s currently public enemy number one in KwaZulu-Natal

Posted on Leave a comment

Traditional leaders and Zululand citizens have had some unkind things to say about former President Kgalema Motlanthe on Wednesday.

As EWN report, the former President is accused of offending their entire population.

Speaking during an Imbizo in Ulundi, the KZN House of Traditional Leaders expressed their dismay and deepened the rift between both parties. But what has Motlanthe done to get in their bad books?
