  1. INGONYAMA TRUST BOARD A Schedule 3A Public Entity In terms of the Public Finance Management Act PRESENTATION OF Strategic Plan 2011/2012 and Budget 2011/2012

  2. BACKGROUND • Ingonyama Trust Board has grown formidable in strength since the establishment of the Board in 1997. Operating with a small staff complement a recruitment drive was initiated towards the end of 2009 to employ additional staff members including the Head of Secretariat. Most of these posts were filled during 2010/11 financial year. The additional capacity assisted in developing more streamlined and effective systems geared to benefit the communities who live in the land that is administered and managed by the Board. It is therefore anticipated that most of these systems that have been developed will be implemented during the 2011/12 financial year. • Under land management the Ingonyama Trust Board will fast track programs that entails consolidation of title deeds and reconcile the asset register, transfer of former KwaZulu R293 towns to local authorities, transfer of land for state domestic purposes and land tenure upgrade and formalization. All this is to ensure the optimum usage of land for the benefit of communities and other occupiers including the state and municialities. Also, in partnership with the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development the Board will provide support to “One Village One Product” project as per the call by his Majesty the King.

  3. The Board has also resolved to intensify its outreach programs in 2011/12. This is to make sure that communities to whom the Board supports fully understands its mandates. This program is long overdue and has been constrained by lack of capacity. Coupled with this program will be a drive to review Ingonyama Trust Board Act 1994 (Act No. 03 of 1994) as amended. • Finally, it is the Board’s intention to continuously enhance and streamline its business systems. One way of achieving this will be through maximizing the financial benefit to communities from income of the Trust and prioritizing the projects that will be of community benefit.

  4. Vision • To provide the best possible land management systems to communities who live on Ingonyama Trust land. • Mission • To improve the quality of life of the people living on Ingonyama Trust land by ensuring that land usage is to their benefit and in accordance with the laws of the land. • Values • Transparency, Integrity, Honesty, Professionalism, Value for money, Open Communication and Consultative process, Service excellence through sound planning. • Legislative mandate (Specific) • KwaZulu-Natal Ingonyama Trust Act 1994 (Act No. 03 of 1994) as amended.

  5. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS • OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT • Land Management • Ingonyama Trust Board’s core business is land management. Due to the saturation in terms of land availability, particularly the land owned by Municipalities there is a surge in demand of land in areas owned by the Trust. The demand for land varies from commercial to residential needs. The Board is faced with a situation whereby it has to balance these needs, that is to make the land available without losing ownership. At times the urgency of these needs ends up straining the relationship between Ingonyama Trust Board and the relevant stakeholders. • Royalties • Also the coming into operation of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Royalty, 2008 (Act 28 of 2008) and Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 2002, (Act 28 of 2002), and its lack of clarity on payment of royalties creates uncertainty on the management of Trust Account.

  6. ORGANIZATIONAL ENVIRONMENT • Human Resources • According to the current organogram the staff complement for Secretariat it is almost 90% filled. There are however some contract positions filled to assist the Secretariat to execute its functions effectively. With the Board’s expectation that its programs should be spread to cover the whole Province, the Secretariat had to relook at the existing organogram. As a result a revised organogram is going to be submitted to the Department for consideration. • The Board has for years operated on the Premises that are managed by the Department of Land Reform and Rural Development. However as from 2011, the Board will relocate to its new premises (65 Trelawnley Road). The offices at Trelawnley will be temporary and the Board intends to build an Administrative Block that will accommodate all staff during 2011/12 financial year.

  7. SATELLITE OFFICES • Also during 2011/12 the Board intends to open satellite offices that will be aligned to District Municipalities. This will assist in bring services offered by Ingonyama Trust Board closer to clients. It will also address the delays in processing documents / applications that are submitted to the Board.

  8. CONSTRAINTS AND MEASURES PLANNED TO OVERCOME THEM • Even though the capacity of the Secretariat has increased during the 2010/11 financial year there is still more capacity needed to execute all the programs for the Board effectively. Hence a proposal to revise the current organogram so that work is decentralized to the Districts. Decentralization will assist in taking serves that the Board offers closer to the clients. This has resulted in land invasions and squatting on Trust land and this might have huge costs implications in the long run. The Board intends to develop a comprehensive strategy to deal with these challenges in the forth-coming financial year. • With the lack of clarity posed by legislations likes Mineral and Petroleum Resources Royalty, 2008 (Act 28 of 2008) and Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 2002, (Act 28 of 2002), on royalties it has been difficult for the Board to assist the affected communities to plan their programs. The matter has been taken up with the National Treasury and hopefully it will be resolved in the near future.

  9. DESCRIPTION OF PLANNED QUALITY IMPROVEMENT MEASURES • Land Management • It is the Board’s objective to make sure that it land is optimally managed to benefit the communities who live on it. Key to achieving this objective during 2011/12 financial year would be to conduct land audits, develop a land management plan for exclusive land and reconcile the asset register. • Communication • The development of a Communication strategy has been identified as one of the key critical aspects to be focused on during 2011/12 financial year. The Board intends to increase its awareness programs to all its stakeholders. The outreach programs are to include; core functions of Ingonyama Trust Board, its legal mandates and projects that the Board is engaged on. • Support to Traditional Communities in ITB land • It is the Board’s intention to support and facilitate business opportunities and development and social needs of the communities who live on Ingonyama Trust land. The Board will endeavor in its programs to identify business opportunities for the communities on its land and package them so that they can ultimately benefit the affected communities.
