Stephen Luthuli, the grandson of late ANC leader Albert Luthuli, explains that the clan has a deeply emotional connection to the land which is now in the hands of private owners.
DURBAN – With election day fast approaching and land continuing to be a hot topic across the political spectrum, the family of the late Chief Albert Luthuli is forging ahead with its fight to have access to their own land, decades later.
His family’s land claim is currently before the High Court in Pietermaritzburg where it’s trying to reclaim two areas, one in Montebello, north-west of Durban, which consists of 32 privately owned farms, as well as Njubanjuba, which is also located north of the city. The Ubumbano Lwamathuli NGO set up by the Luthuli clan has taken on a mammoth challenge to claim back the land they say was stolen from them in the 1700s. As Stephen Luthuli explains, the clan has a deeply emotional connection to the land which is now in the hands of private owners.

OPINIONISTA: Why there is no legal duty on ANC candidates on election lists to withdraw if instructed toIn previous democratic elections in South Africa, voters took little notice of who appeared on political party election lists. When the governing African National Congress, therefore, decided to include many individuals of questionable character on its election lists for the 2019 election, the party probably did not foresee the resulting outcry. Now its National Executive Committee has instructed its ‘Integrity Commission’ to review the lists. But is this merely a public relations exercise, or can individuals be prevented from taking up their seats in the National Assembly?
