204 MPs voted in favour of the bill while 145 voted against it. The ANC needed 267 votes to pass the bill into law.

“Parties stood together to defend the constitution which now remains intact. This is a significant day for SA because it means that property rights are protected. As the DA, we will never stop fighting for the rights that are enshrined in the constitution because they are the only thing you have against arbitrary abuse of power,” he said.

The EFF said it voted against the bill because, if passed, it would have been a setback for black people.said the bill was a diluted version of the party's proposal in 2018. He said the bill did not make provision for the transfer of land to black people. “The current bill makes meaningless provisions for the state to be a custodian of certain land and does not define what this certain land is.

“If this bill is allowed to pass, it would signify a sell-out position and further disenfranchisement of black people. The practical implications of this bill would be far worse than the current property clause of the constitution,” he said.

ANC currently sells/steals the land, put it in the hands of tenderpreneurs masquerading as land developers. Making land more inaccessible to ordinary citizens. Government doesn't sell land directly to citizens to build their own homes.
