6 BACKGROUND TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN The strategic plan has been prepared in conjunction with the Budget in order to achieve the Board’s vision and mission. The strategic plan focuses on the issues that need to be resolved over the next five years and has regard to Government priorities such as poverty alleviation, provision of housing and infrastructure, black empowerment and security of tenure. In particular the implementation of the Communal Land Rights Act (CLaRA) and challenges faced by the Board with changes in other legislation such as the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act have informed the content of this Strategic Plan. As the full implications of these two Acts unfold, the Plan may have to be revised.

The strategic issues raised in the Strategic Plan will facilitate the achievement of the objective of optimal land usage for the material benefit and social well being of the communities living on Ingonyama Trust land. Furthermore, it will assist in extending security of tenure in accordance with both customary and statutory law.
