expropriation-bill

The Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Public Works and Infrastructure invites the public to comment on the Expropriation Bill [B23 – 2020].

The purpose of the Expropriation Bill is to:

  • Repeal the existing Expropriation Act 63 of 1975
  • Provide a common framework in line with the Constitution to guide the processes and procedures for expropriation of property by organs of state
  • Provide for instances where expropriation with nil compensation may be just and equitable.
