### 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.
