This is a response to the Select Committee on Transport, Public Service and Administration, Public Works and Infrastructure’s invitation to submit written comments on the Expropriation Bill [B 23B-2020].
The Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) and Law Trust Chair in Social Justice at Stellenbosch University is grateful for the opportunity to submit comments in response to the call for comments on the Expropriation Bill of 2020, which seeks to replace the Expropriation Act 63 of 1975 (Expropriation Act). The comments have been enriched immensely and are submitted with the input of stakeholders who attended our roundtable held on 2 March 2023, including the contribution of the KwaZulu-Natal Agricultural Union (Kwanalu).
