Free Market Foundation says the Expropriation Act is not conducive to land reform

# The Free Market Foundation is calling on Parliament to repeal the Expropriation Act and introduce a just and equitable land reform programme. The Act provides a common framework to guide the processes and procedures for the expropriation of property by organs of state. The foundation says the legislation is dangerous, unconstitutional, and cannot achieve any land reform gains. It adds that the most important short-term recommendation is that the current Expropriation Act must be replaced with an Expropriation Control Act, which normalises expropriation law in South Africa.
