Flexi Expropriation Act debated in court

Different entities have all brought separate applications with the matter before Judge Vincent Saldanha.

The gloves are off as arguments challenging the constitutionality of the Expropriation Act entered its second day in the Western Cape High Court yesterday.

AfriForum argued on the impact of property owners of "nil" or minimal compensation despite the market value of land.

This, while the Institute of Race Relations (IRR) Legal argued that "nil" compensation was a wider argument - where a land owner could benefit from a development or land reform.

The DA, AfriForum, IRR Legal and Vaderlandstigting have all brought separate applications rolled into one before Judge Vincent Saldanha.
