An amendment to allow for land expropriation without compensation could be successfully challenged in the Constitutional Court.
The ANC may not need its offshoot, the Economic Freedom Fighters, to make good on its promise to expropriate land without compensation, experts suggest.
Last week’s election garnered results which left the ANC 19 seats weaker in parliament, now occupying 230 seats. The EFF nearly doubled its power, winning 44 seats and suggesting that with the help of the Red Berets, the ANC could get the two-thirds majority vote it needed to enact its December 2017 resolution to amend section 25 of the Constitution, in order to expropriate land without compensation .
Friedman sees two scenarios in the post-election period, one of which would see the ANC not needing the EFF to enact EWC and the other “highly probable” scenario, in which an amendment is successfully challenged in the Constitutional Court.
