President Cyril Ramaphosa has approved the law despite opposition from some parties in the multi-party government
After President Cyril Ramaphosa signed the Expropriation Bill into law on Thursday, many might have questions about what this means.
The Bill repeals the pre-democratic Expropriation Act of 1975 and sets out how organs of State may expropriate land in the public interest for varied reasons.
This legislation has undergone a five-year process of public consultation and parliamentary deliberation, aligning legislation on expropriation with the Constitution. The legislation was passed by the National Council of Provinces in March 2024.
It is only human to be curious about certain aspects of the new Bill and the government has answered seven frequently asked questions.
