The House of Traditional Leaders in KwaZulu-Natal is optimistic that the newly elected provincial leadership is committed to addressing long-standing issues over safety and overdue payments, that traditional leaders have been grappling with.
After years of disputes with the government over their “rightful” entitlements, the House was anticipating a renewed era of collaboration and resolution, which would bring an end to the broader administrative challenges faced by the amakhosi and izinduna.
Inkosi Sifiso Shinga, chairperson of the provincial House, said they hoped to have a constructive partnership with Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs MEC Thulasizwe Buthelezi.
