The first is that of unraveling the land tenure issues so that there is some equity of tenure rights across the municipality, the other is how to address the administrative issues so that the local municipality, which now comprises a mosaic of areas, can coherently govern its area of jurisdiction into the next century.
The area was administered by the Department of Bantu Administration and later the Ciskei Department of Internal Affairs and Land Tenure, from a local office in Dimbaza, near Bisho.
There does not appear to be any specific former Ciskei legislation that can be used in its place, making it almost impossible to legally upgrade this form of tenure at present.

EAST LONDON -- Seventeen former Ciskei policemen were granted amnesty by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's amnesty committee for taking hostage 50 of their seniors at the Ciskei Police College in Bisho in March 1994.
This objective was supported by a significant number of inhabitants of Ciskei as well as a number of political organisations including the ANC alliance.
The committee argued that although it was a given fact that the first democratic elections would be held in the country on April 27, 1994, Gqozo was resisting the holding of elections in Ciskei at the time.

For the project in the Ciskei, two local institutions were available to provide modular training skills necessary for the project.
However, during subsequent meetings it became clear that discussions on training at national level were pointing towards splitting up the country into certain geographic areas and appointing the various training centres to operate within their allocated region.
The non- accredited institution clearly felt that, as they were located in the Ciskei and the other institution's head office was not, any training needs should be carried out by themselves.
