Expropriation Bill Overview
A recent Expropriation Bill in South Africa facilitates government expropriation of land without compensation, reflecting ongoing debates about property rights. The legislative journey began in 2018, when the African National Congress (ANC) first proposed amendments to the constitution. By 2021, a vote to amend the constitution failed due to a coalition of left-wing parties demanding more stringent measures. This led to the introduction of the Expropriation Act, which explicitly targets property owners and raises concerns about the potential for discrimination based on race.
