The Democratic Alliance (DA) strongly reiterates its opposition to the Expropriation Bill, which President Cyril Ramaphosa has now signed into law.
While the DA recognises that the Constitution allows for acts of redress and restitution, including land reform, we have serious reservations about the procedure as well as important substantive aspects of the Bill.
We are in discussions with our legal team to formulate our case.
