Corruption Watch warns new law 'enables traditional leaders to dispossess without consent'

President Cyril Ramaphosa should have referred the precedent-setting bill which gives statutory recognition of the Khoi-San communities back to parliament, civic groups said on Monday.

Ramaphosa signed the bill into law last week despite objections raised by various groups. The act seeks to transform traditional and Khoi-San institutions in line with other constitutional imperatives, such as the Bill of Rights and restore the integrity and legitimacy of the institutions of traditional and Khoi-San leadership in line with customary law and practices, the presidency said.

Reports by both panels, one in 2017 chaired by former president Kgalema Motlanthe and the other instituted by Ramaphosa, said the provisions of the bill infringed on customary and informal property land rights protected by section 25 of the constitution.
