Understanding expropriation

The Expropriation Law Project (B23-2020) Its objective is to align the laws of expropriation of South Africa with the Constitution. Unlike Zimbabwe’s controversial approach under Robert Mugabe, South Africa’s bill describes specific processes for expropriation.

According to the bill, expropriation is the mandatory obtaining of property by an expropriation authority or a state organ at the request of an expropriation authority. The legislation specifies that expropriation can only be done for public purposes or in public interest, with courts that determine fair compensation in cases in dispute.

The bill differs between public purpose (purposes related to the administration of laws by state bodies) and public interest (including the nation’s commitment to agrarian reform and equitable access to natural resources). It is important to keep in mind that the Expropriation Law draft should not be confused with the amendment of section 25 of the Constitution, which specifically addresses expropriation without compensation.
