Contralesa insists Stellenbosch land will be used as initiation site
The Congress of Traditional Leaders (Contralesa) says Idas Valley Plantation in Stellenbosch is owned by the government and so it will still be used as an initiation ritual site.
The organization is seeking a court interdict to allow them to continue using the land, disputing Stellenbosch Municipality’s position that it’s a fire hazard for the area.
Contralesa’s provincial secretary, Lungelo Nokwaza says they’ve lodged papers in the Western Cape High Court.
“The land in question is administered by Stellenbosch Municipality and I’m cautious because I don’t want to say they own it because the land belongs to us…The land in our country is administered by various authorities and various government institutions.”
Meanwhile, the municipality says continued use of the land without a permit, constitutes illegal occupation.
