The Constitution 18th Amendment Bill, which provides for expropriation of land without compensation, is scheduled for debate in the National Assembly on December 7.

The ANC, which supports the amendments, has 230 MPs, which is not enough to attain the two-thirds majority required for a constitutional amendment. It needs the DA or the EFF to attain this, but both parties have rejected the amendments.

The bill proposes an amendment of section 25 of the constitution to read: “Subject to compensation, the amount of which and the time and manner of payment of which have either been agreed to by those affected or decided or approved by a court: Provided that where land and any improvements thereon are expropriated for purposes of land reform as contemplated in subsection 8, the amount of compensation may be nil.
