NATIONAL NEWS - The Democratic Alliance (DA) has reiterated its opposition to land expropriation without compensation, saying the party will challenge the policy if it's adopted in Parliament.
The DA has held a briefing on Monday where it set out the party's position on land reform.
Party leader Mmusi Maimane says the DA will oppose the amendment of the Constitution with every tool available.
“What is clear is that now there is sufficient support in Parliament to substantially erode property rights from the Constitution.”
The DA says while its rejection of land expropriation without compensation has consequences for the party in Nelson Mandela Bay, it will not change its position by bowing to Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) pressure.
The red berets have issued what it calls a warning shot to the party, saying it will table a motion of no confidence in Nelson Mandela Bay mayor Athol Trollip to punish the DA for not supporting the expropriation without compensation motion in Parliament.
