The Ingonyama Trust is a Foundation (public law) for the management of land, which is traditionally the Zulu - king heard of it is to use his people for the benefit and the physical and social well-being. The Zulu term ingonyama means 'lion'.

The legal basis was formed in 1994 in the Ingonyama Trust Board Act 1994 (Act No. 03 of 1994). The foundation was established in 1997.

The board of the foundation ( Engl. Ingonyama Trust Board ) consists of the Zulu king as chairman since the founding of this is Goodwill Zwelethini kaBhekuzulu . Eight other members are appointed by the Minister of Rural Development and Land Reform of the state government in consultation with the King, the Prime Minister of KwaZulu-Natal and the Chairman of the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial House of Traditional Leaders , the representative of the Traditional Authorities in KwaZulu-Natal .

In 2011 the foundation owned 32 percent of the land in KwaZulu-Natal. This was around three million hectares that were inhabited by over four million people. The foundation also manages the mining rights for these areas .

Until a court ruling in 2005, the foundation paid no taxes. She refused to retroactively pay taxes to the metropolitan municipality eThekwini for the period before 2005 . In 2018, a commission headed by former President Kgalema Motlanthe recommended expropriating the trust because it was not constitutional.
