The threat of legal action from ITB chairperson Jerome Ngwenya fails to halt forensic audit ordered by the land reform minister

The audit is investigating the finances of the ITB and allegations of bribery of traditional leaders levelled by a number of amakhosi in different parts of the province, as well as claims that Ngwenya used his position — which he has occupied for almost 15 years — to enrich himself.

In the letter, Ngwenya said he would inform the monarch about Didiza’s actions, threatening that her continued attempts to exercise control over the ITB — or him — would result in a “collision”., said he was unable to comment on the investigation this week, but two independent sources with intimate knowledge of the process said that it was well underway.

The audit was appointed in response to a series of complaints by “a good number” of traditional leaders, who accused Ngwenya of bribing some of their counterparts, while withholding the traditional authorities’ share of revenue raised from residents of their land. The ITB’s residential lease programme is being challenged by residents, backed by several nongovernmental organisations, in the Pietermaritzburg high court next month, and the state entity faces at least four other court challenges from residents and businesspeople who were allegedly dispossessed of their land by the ITB.
