The Expropriation Bill – what is Agri SA doing about it?

[{“type”:”text”,”content”:”The first attempt at an Expropriation Bill was 12 years ago, in 2008, but it was later withdrawn from the parliamentary process because of concerns about the limitations that it placed on the role of the courts. Another attempt was made in 2013. The 2013 bill was refined and became the 2015 bill, but was once again withdrawn from the parliamentary process in 2018, this time because of the debate around expropriation without compensation following on the 2017 ANC policy conference. This 2015 version was then amended to provide for the possibility of u201cnil compensationu201d in certain circumstances. The amended Bill was tabled in NEDLAC. Agri SA participated in the NEDLAC engagements as part of the Business constituency. The Business delegation strongly objected in principle to the concept of nil Rand compensation, and this objection has been captured in the NEDLAC report that is sent to Parliament.”,”position”:0,”id”:”8SNpAVhHEZWf6Ei5″}]
