Land expropriation without compensation started by the ANC in an important South African city

• The ANC-led coalition government in Nelson Mandela Bay Metro began the process of expropriating private land without compensation, in accordance with Section 25 of the Constitution, to facilitate the Kleinskool Housing Project.
• The expropriation process was initiated due to the municipality's inability to reach an agreement with the landowner of the Kleinskool Housing Project, and opposition parties have strongly opposed the move.
• The move has sparked a legal battle against provisions of the Expropriation Act, with the Western Cape High Court currently hearing a case brought by AfriForum and IRR Legal.
