Expropriation without compensation under siege in South Africa

• Expropriation without compensation is indeed possible under the new Expropriation Act, which has been challenged in court.
• The challenge is led by AfriForum, a civil rights organization, in the Western Cape High Court, citing concerns that the Act erodes property rights and enables expropriation without compensation.
• The outcome of the court case could have significant implications for land ownership and property rights in South Africa, with potential far-reaching consequences for landowners and the economy.
