The consolidated court cases of the DA, supported by their surrogates, the AfriForum and the Institute of Race Relations, are aiming to have the land expropriation law declared invalid and unconstitutional on both procedural and substantive grounds.
The DA argues that their case is about every family’s home, every entrepreneur’s business, every worker’s pension and every South African who hopes one day to own something they can call their own.
The DA contends that Section 19 of the Act is irrational, pointing out that it enforces an impossible 180-day time limit to approach a court over compensation disputes relative to when the notice of expropriation is issued.
