PRINCIPLES AND BOUNDARIES! In its operations NKUZI is bound by the following set of principles:

---

Equal rights, respect and equal treatment for all regardless of race, ethnic origin, gender, sexual preference or political persuasion. In order to fulfil this principle Nkuzi will be actively anti-racist and anti-sexist and work towards the redressing of inequalities within society that are base on racial, sexual or other prejudices.

Peoples right to be involved in their own development and to have a say in issues which affect their lives. In order to fulfil this principle Nkuzi will actively seek to engage people in decision making around developments which will affect them.
The right of all to a life of dignity which requires a reasonable level of housing, food, security, comfort, education and opportunities for dignified work. In order to fulfil this Nkuzi will work to eradicate inequalities and injustices in society which have prevented people having a life of dignity.

Nkuzi works from four offices situated in Polokwane (Main Office), Elim, Acornhoek and Pretoria. Having these different offices makes Nkuzi more accessible to local communities and reduces the cost of getting to other areas.

The work of Nkuzi is largely grant financed from a range of different funders. Current main funders include HorisonT3000 (Austria), Open Society Foundation, Christian Aid, Foundation for Human Rights, Ford Foundation and funds channelled through the National Land Committee. Some money is earned through taking on contracts for government or other institutions.
