The Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA), Velenkosini Hlabisa, will convene a follow-up meeting with the Congress of Traditional Leaders of South Africa (CONTRALESA) on Wednesday, 14 January 2026.
The meeting will take place at the Southern Sun at OR Tambo International Airport in Gauteng.
According to the department, this engagement is a continuation of the breakfast meeting held on 5 December 2025, between President Cyril Ramaphosa and CONTRALESA, which Minister Hlabisa also attended.
“The follow-up meeting aims to allow for an in-depth discussion on issues raised during that engagement, particularly those affecting traditional and Khoi-San leadership and their role within the system of cooperative governance,” the advisory read.
The meeting also forms part of the Ministry’s ongoing commitment to strengthening partnerships with traditional leadership structures and advancing collaborative solutions to matters impacting communities across the country. – SAnews.gov.za
