Ulundi, 3 January 2025 \u2013 The Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA) MEC, Reverend Thulasizwe Buthelezi, has announced the distribution of R34.1 million to all Traditional Councils in the province. These funds, collected from traditional levies and held in trust by the department, will be returned to the respective traditional authorities, including accrued interest, from 6 January 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This distribution of funds is part of ongoing efforts by the MEC to decentralise and strengthen the autonomy of traditional authorities and Amakhosi as bona fide leaders of their respective communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a meeting held today in Ulundi, MEC Buthelezi stated the department’s commitment to strengthening and enhancing the institution of traditional leadership both legally and economically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing all Amakhosi, MEC Buthelezi said, “This initiative empowers traditional leaders and their communities, ensuring that the funds are used to address community needs identified by Amakhosi.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The announcement was welcomed by all Amakhosi, indicating a positive development in the department’s approach to supporting Amakhosi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inkosi Sifiso Shinga, Chairperson of the KZN Provincial House of Traditional and Khoi-San Leaders, expressed his support, noting the positive impact this move will have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MEC Buthelezi reiterated his dedication to the institution of traditional leadership in the province, pledging to collaborate with all Amakhosi to advance rural development. “We are committed to working with Amakhosi to ensure that rural development takes place and is led by them,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
