The South African Government has clarified that the recently adopted Expropriation Act is not a land confiscation measure, but a constitutionally guided legal process aimed at ensuring equitable land access. The government emphasised that South Africa remains a constitutional democracy that upholds justice, equality, and the rule of law.
Like the United States and other democracies, South Africa has long had expropriation laws balancing public land use with property rights protection. The government looks forward to engaging with the Trump administration to enhance understanding of its land reform policy, reaffirming that its approach aligns with democratic principles and legal frameworks.
