AGRICULTURAL NEWS - President Cyril Ramaphosa’s announcement on Tuesday that the ANC would move to amend Section 25 of the Constitution to “explicitly” allow for expropriation of land without compensation, has caused confusion in many quarters.
He announced this decision at the end of the ANC’s national executive committee’s two-day lekgotla held in Irene near Pretoria.
Ramaphosa said this decision was prompted by the nationwide hearings on the proposal‚ which had been conducted over the past three weeks.
“…the ANC will, through the parliamentary process, finalise a proposed amendment to the Constitution that outlines more clearly the conditions under which expropriation of land without compensation can be effected,” he said.
