The parliamentary committee tasked with amending the constitution to pave the way for expropriation of land without compensation will begin holding public hearings on the issue later in February.
Last week, the committee agreed to extend the deadline for written public comment to the end of February. In December, parliament published an invitation in the Government Gazette calling on the public to provide written submissions on the draft legislation.On Tuesday, the chair of the committee, Mathole Motshekga, appealed to committee members, saying that when the public participation process commences they should listen to all the people of SA, both black and white.
The committee agreed to divide into two groups for the public hearings, so that they can run concurrently.
