# The National Assembly and National Council of Provinces has mandated the Constitutional Review Committee to:

 1. **review** section 25 of the **Constitution** and **other sections where necessary**,
    to make it possible for the state to **expropriate land in the public interest 
    without compensation;**
 2. propose the necessary constitutional amendments **where applicable** with regards
    to the kind of **future land tenure regime** needed.

### You are invited to object or support amendments to the constitution by providing comment below. Should you be at a loss for words, read the live input or documents below the form. Feel free to copy and paste into the message area provided.   _Closing date is midnight 15 June 2018._

_It is important to note this is not a petition but is the first step in an essential
Participative Democracy process. _And here’s the best bit;_ as each comment is immediately
sent as a **unique email** to the designated government representative, comments
must, by law, be individually acknowledged and considered by the Government. Had
this been a petition, they would treat it as a single comment._

By using this service you ensure an accurate record is held by civil society (on
our encrypted database) so government cannot fudge facts and figures. This process
forms a solid foundation for a legal case should the necessity arise.
