It's Topical | Land Debate: Is the Expropriation Act on shaky ground?

The Expropriation Act. Met with mixed reaction. It repeals the pre-democratic Expropriation Act of 1975. It sets out how organs of the State may expropriate land in the public interest for varied reasons. So basically, it outlines how expropriation can be done and on what basis. Local, provincial and national authorities will use this legislation to expropriate land in the public that seeks to, among others, promote inclusivity and access to natural resources. Some have welcomed the act. Some believe it doesn't go far enough. Others feel it goes too far! Is the Expropriation Act on solid or shaky ground? Could it LAND up in the courts? Our guests tonight are representing the DA, the EFF, the PAC and Rise Mzansi. For more news, visit sabcnews.com and #SABCNews on all Social Media platforms.
