Land Claims Court's mandate has been diverted - Ngcukaitobi | kamva_somdyala
Section 25 of the Constitution is not the problem when it comes to the question of land expropriation without compensation. A lack of political will is, according to advocate and author Tembeka Ngcukaitobi.
Ngcukaitobi began by saying that problems with the redistribution of land did not lie with implementation, but rather the structures in place. "The ANC [is] using the Constitution as scapegoat. To amend Section 25 is constitutionally unnecessary," he added.Ngcukaitobi, who often acts as a judge in the Land Claims Court says the mandate of this particular court has been diverted.
"Its mandate was clear: Create a court to deal with farm workers' issues, the question of land distribution and labour tenants. Instead, the court is dealing with farm evictions.'Original sin'
