THE Pietermaritzburg High Court has ordered Sipho Ngwenya, the former chairperson of the Ingonyama Trust Board (ITB), to repay more than R30 million to the Ingonyama Trust within 30 days.

This order stems from an unlawful transfer of funds from the Ingonyama Trust to Ngwenya's lawyer, Jafta Incorporated trust account, which occurred under Ngwenya's instruction.

The High Court found that Ngwenya, who is a former judge, lacked the ITB's authorisation to transfer funds from a property sale between the eThekwini Municipality and the Ingonyama Trust to Jafta Incorporated.

Furthermore, Ngwenya had previously defied court orders from 2024 and 2025 requiring him to explain his authority for moving funds that should have remained in the Ingonyama Trust bank account.

According to Vela Mngwengwe, former CEO of ITB, the Ingonyama Trust and eThekwini Municipality signed a sale agreement of land in Hammarsdale on June 29, 2018, for R31,172,000, which included occupational rental.
