The FW de Klerk Foundation herewith releases its comprehensive assessment of whether parties’ conduct aligns with the Constitution’s values and the Bill of Rights.
The procedural irregularities surrounding the Expropriation Bill’s passage through the NCOP raises serious concerns about the legitimacy of the legislative process, undermining democratic principles and disenfranchising millions of citizens to voice their opinion.
In the face of the Expropriation Bill’s looming implementation, South Africa stands at a critical crossroads, where the very foundation of its economy and property rights is under threat.
The FW de Klerk Foundation outlines the absence of clear definitions in the Expropriation Bill and the potential implications of this.
The Expropriation Bill, legalising expropriation without compensation, poses a grave threat to South Africa’s economy and the most vulnerable in society.
The FW de Klerk Foundation views the passage of the Expropriation Bill through the NA and NCOP as of concern and reiterates objections to the Bill’s provisions for expropriation without compensation, while highlighting the associated procedural irregularities.
On Tuesday, 19 March 2024, Parliament’s second house, the National Council of Provinces, passed a version of the Expropriation Bill which allows for expropriation without compensation.
On Wednesday, 7 February 2024, Parliament’s second house, the National Council of Provinces’ committee working on the Expropriation Bill, met to discuss changes to the Bill.
During 2023, Parliament considered a mix of positive legislation and legislation that falls seriously short of constitutional standards.
