Left and right-leaning political parties have packaged their views on how best to deal with the land question in their manifestos.
Rustenburg - Land expropriation without compensation made news headlines when the National Assembly adopted the constitutional review committee's report recommending a constitutional amendment to expropriate land without compensation in 2018.
The Economic Freedom Fighters is explicit on expropriation of land without compensation while the Democratic Alliance is opposed to the move. An EFF-led government would establish a land ombudsman to ensure that people’s rights to the land were protected and not subjected to arbitrary abuse by state officials and injudicious mining companies.
The DA is opposed to the expropriation of land without compensation, stating that the current land reform programme was riddled with corruption, the diversion of the land reform budget to elites, lack of political will, and lack of training and capacity – all of which have proved serious stumbling blocks to meaningful land reform.
The Freedom Front Plus , representing the aspiration of mostly Afrikaners, said it understood the emotional impact that land ownership has on all South Africans, as such land must not be viewed through a commercial lens.
