ANC and EFF are deadlocked on custodianship issue, but Ad Hoc Committee still confident of progress.
The ANC does not believe there will be any further requests to extend the lifespan of the Ad Hoc Committee on Land Expropriation.
This comes as the deadline to complete the Bill to amend section 25 of the Constitution to allow for the expropriation of land without compensation approaches.ANC chief whip Pemmy Majodina, said this week, she hoped there would be no further requests to extend the deadline. This after the committee had first extended its deadline from late last year to conclude the process. But when it could not finish its business, it requested further extensions.“On Section 25 they are on track given the time-frames to finalise public hearings. I hope there won’t be any requests to extend the deadline beyond the end of August,” said Majodina.The committee had allowed political parties to discuss areas of common interests on the Bill to enable the conclusion of the process.
But the two parties could not agree on the issue of custodianship, as the ANC prefers certain sections of land to be under the state, whereas, the EFF would rather the state hold custodianship of all land in the country.
