N91§: IiI Irrigation boards (and districts) are not static entities. Boards are sometimes established and then later disbanded;
possibly consolidated with other boards, or subsequently incorporated into adjacent boards. A typical example is
Mfuli. The date of the first election indicated in the table therefore refers to the latest form of a given board. The
names and addresses of contact persons likewise, change from time-to-time. In the event of difficulties the
Department of Water Affairs and Forestry. Durban. should be approached for assistance. The Department
maintains constantly updated records on the various districts and boards.
I
(ii) The following irrigation boards are in the process of being established: Horn River; Ivele; Krom River; Lions River;
Lower Tugela; Makatini; Melmoth; Nkonzo River; Northern Zululand; Port Edward; Umsinduze, and Underberg. The
Mzintlava Irrigation Board is being disbanded.
