The Pushback Against Expropriation

Last week, property owners, especially Boere farmers, across South Africa were raising their voices against the ANC-proposed Expropriation Act. The vaguely-written, Orwellian legislature calls on property deemed to be "in the public interest" must be sold to the government, at lower-than-market prices. Appeal to such an "offer" could not really be refused, as judges in South Africa are appointed by the ANC and would very unlikely go against their party's edict.

This week, a surprise announcement was released by the Northern Cape
MEC of Agriculture and Land Reform, Tina Joemat-Pettersson, who said the Expropriation bill would not be accepted by Parliament due to its unconstitutional nature.

Casper Nordier, Provincial Leader of the African Christian Democrat Party (ACDP) in Freestate, and a standing member of Parliament in Freestate discusses this legislation is uniting the people of South Africa against a truly bizarre and over-reaching legislation.
