South Africa: Traditional leaders
Mandela and De Klerk received their “peace” prize during 1993 to “dismantle the so-called apartheid” (segregation) and to do away with “homelands” etc. BUT what are the real facts about segregation in South Africa and what price do we, as tax payers still pay for that fake “peace prize” of De Klerk and Mandela? Question: What are the traditional leaders doing for us , the Afrikaners and Boers people today? – while they all supported the ANC’s communist rules and black economic empowerment and still have their own “homelands” called Trustlands? Even the Chinese people and immigrants from Africa and other continents, have more benefits than the citizens.

Expropriation is also a communist idea
Farmland has also been taken away from our white farmers under the “land reform” schemes for the Chinese governments to develop and mining rights were given for their use only. And who finance all those things – George Soros, some European countries, governments and liberal organisations! They also finance the so-called South African Constitution and Parliament today.

As explained – there are STILL segregation and warnings as well – 2018

Traditional leaders have warned the ANC not to forget where its votes come from after the ruling party resolved to limit their authority over communal land. The Congress of Traditional Leaders of South Africa (Contralesa) said the resolution was a result of the party’s failure to hand back land to black South Africans.
Chief Mathibela Mokoena‚ the president of Contralesa‚ said the ANC does not want to deal with the issue of land decisively‚ so instead targets them. “As a traditional leader‚ we are waiting for the government to tell us what they are planning to do about taking back the land‚ not these silly tactics of disrespecting us. We are against this resolution of theirs. If they lack the strategy to deal with the big issue‚ they must consult us‚” Mokoena said.
“Come elections‚ they get the most votes from communities that are under traditional leaders. They must not forget. We deserve to be recognised and respected as important role players in this country. All we ask is for them to consult us before making misleading announcements‚ because one day we will get tired of this treatment‚ I don’t know what we will do then‚” he said. The ANC resolved on Wednesday at its 54th national conference that it would remove some of the authority of traditional leaders over communal land‚ with the goal of eventually giving communities 13% of land.

2018
– The government has published the official salaries, which Kings, Queens and other traditional leaders will receive in 2018 – Salaries will increase with between 4.5% and 8% in 2018, in line with those of MPs – Traditional leaders have little political power, but are seen as important figureheads in traditional communities
The South African government has published the official salaries which all Kings, Queens and other traditional leaders will receive in 2018. Traditional leaders were subjected to a pay freeze in 2017 but will receive between 4.5% and 8% more this year, which is in-line with the increase which Members of Parliament (MPs) will receive.
All South African Kings, Queens and traditional leaders are entitled to a salary from government. In 2010 the traditional leadership commission of South Africa recommended that government should only recognise seven royal families, with six falling by the wayside.
This recommendation means that once the current leaders of six of the 13 royal families pass their families will not officially be recognised by the government.

Traditional leaderships during QUESTIONS
As part of a recent parliamentary Q&A session, the minister of cooperative governance and traditional affairs, was asked how many traditional leaders there are in each province in South Africa. Traditional kings and senior leaders are symbolic figureheads in the country who carry little political power. However, these rulers play an important role in local disputes and often perform advisory roles to government, as well as in the lives of the traditional rural populations.
According to Van Rooyen, as of June 2018 there are 14 kingships, queenships, and/or principal traditional leaders in the country across five of South Africa’s provinces.
In addition, there are 844 senior traditional leaders in the country across eight provinces (the Western Cape is not included) – with just two leaders based in Gauteng and as many as 277 in KwaZulu Natal.
How much they earn
After a pay freeze in 2017, the majority of traditional leaders saw their salaries increase between 4.5% and 8% for the 2018 financial year. This is in line with the increases given to ministers, MPs and other senior members of government gazetted late last year.
As of 2010, South Africa recognizes seven royal families in the country, after a recommendation by a traditional leadership commission that South Africa lose six of its kings and queens.
Of the 13 recognised traditional kingdoms recognised previously, only seven will remain once the current incumbent rulers of the identified kingdoms have passed away.
Extrapolating the data below, the South African government is paying around R250 million a year on senior traditional leader salaries, including kings and queens.
