South Africa – Land expropriation bill signed into law

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa

In a landmark development, the South African President, Cyril Ramaphosa signed into law the long awaited Land expropriation bill.

The Land expropriation bill is set to allow the government to take over land in appropriate cases, for the public interest and will enable land reform and redress of colonial imbalances. The law replaces the Expropriation Act of 1975 and is set to bring equitable access to resources for all South Africans. Land reform has been a topical issue in South Africa and the African region.

With this piece of legislation, significant changes to that set up are expected in the neighbouring country.
