Ramaphosa Signs Controversial Expropriation Bill Into Law

Ramaphosa Signs Controversial Expropriation Bill Into Law

President Cyril Ramaphosa has officially signed the Expropriation Bill into law, enabling land expropriation with nil compensation under certain conditions deemed in the public interest.

The newly enacted law aims to address land reform and redress historical injustices by defining circumstances in which land can be expropriated without financial compensation. It replaces the outdated Expropriation Act of 1975, which did not align with the constitutional framework established post-apartheid.

Presidency spokesperson Vincent Magwenya emphasized that the bill underwent a rigorous five-year process of public consultation and parliamentary scrutiny. “Section 25 of the Constitution recognizes expropriation as a critical mechanism for the state to acquire property for a public purpose or in the public interest, subject to just and equitable compensation,” Magwenya explained.

The law’s adoption has sparked heated political debates. Proponents argue that it is essential for achieving land reform and addressing the legacy of land dispossession in South Africa. During a National Assembly sitting in September 2022, then-public works minister Patricia de Lille noted that expropriation with nil compensation would be used only as one mechanism of land acquisition in appropriate cases.

However, the bill has faced strong opposition from parties such as the Democratic Alliance (DA), Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), and Freedom Front Plus (FF+), all of which are now part of the government of national unity. Critics argue that the law could discourage investment, threaten property rights, and harm the economy.

The signing of the bill represents a significant milestone in South Africa’s land reform efforts, yet it remains a polarizing issue. As the implementation phase begins, the government will face scrutiny over how the law is applied and whether it balances the need for redress with economic stability.
