25 June 1982
The Durban Supreme Court cancelled the South African government's announcement of 18 June 1982 concerning the repossession of the Ingwavuma region, KwaZulu. The cancelation was done on the grounds that the government did not meet its legal obligation to consult fully with the KwaZulu authorities before making its announcement. The State President, P.W. Botha responded by issuing a new Proclamation, under a different law, once again placing Ingwavuma under government control. The announcement on 18 June came 4 days after the Minister of Development and Cooperation, Dr. Piet Koornhof made his speech to the KwaZulu Legislative Assembly.
