South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has signed into law a bill that allows the government to seize land without compensation, a move that has sparked debate and controversy within the country. The new law replaces the Expropriation Act of 1975 and provides guidelines for the state to expropriate land based on specific criteria.
The African National Congress (ANC), Ramaphosa's party, has praised the law as a significant milestone in addressing land ownership disparities in the country. However, some government members have expressed concerns about the legality of the law and indicated they may challenge it.
