DA challenges Expropriation Act's Section 19 in court.

from Update@Noon · host SAfm

The Western Cape High Court is today hearing the DA's constitutional challenge to the Expropriation Act. The party wants the law declared unconstitutional and invalid, arguing that the process leading to its adoption was flawed and that it infringes on constitutionally protected property rights. President Cyril Ramaphosa signed, the Expropriation Act in January 2025.  DA MP Ashor Sarupen says the party is in court to protect the property rights of all South Africans and opposes what it describes as legislation that legalises land grabs. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to SABC reporter Andile Mbanjwa
