On Tuesday, the Land and Accountability Research Centre (Larc) hosted a webinar to unpack what the Ingonyama Trust judgment’s impact would be on land tenure rights.
The chief researcher at Larc, Dr Aninka Claassens, explained that the Ingonyama Trust judgment found that people with residential leases with the trust were now entitled to have those leases cancelled and to be refunded the money they would have paid to the trust as a result of the lease agreements.
She said the trust was found to have breached not only the Constitution and customary law, but the Ingonyama Trust Act by which it is governed.

weekly newspaper.
Nolundi Luwaya is the Director of the Land and Accountability Research Centre (Larc) based at the University of Cape Town. Larc focuses its advocacy research on the protection of customary law rights in South Africa’s former homelands and how to ensure that the country’s laws and policies do not impact unfairly on people living in the former homelands. Their areas of strategic intervention encompass land, mining and governance.
Born in Somerset West, Luwaya was raised on a farm in Fir Grove between Stellenbosch and Somerset West in the Western Cape, where her mother worked as a domestic worker and her father as a farm labourer. The farm owners paid for her basic education as well as assisted her with her University of Cape Town (UCT) fees, where she studied towards a BA Law degree.
