South African Land Expropriation Bill

The South African Land Expropriation Bill aims to allow the government to acquire land without necessarily paying full compensation, primarily to address historical land inequalities and promote land reform. While it emphasizes restitution and redistribution to previously marginalized communities, the bill also seeks to ensure property rights are protected and prevents misuse. Its purpose is to facilitate more equitable land ownership, improve access to land for historically disadvantaged groups, and stimulate economic development, all within a legal framework that balances property rights with national interest and social justice.
