Land expropriation without compensation started by the ANC in an important South African city

The ANC-led coalition government in Nelson Mandela Bay Metro began the process of expropriating private land without compensation.

 

[Wut]

Aren't they just expropriating it from one of their own? Wasn't there a bit of an uproar when an ANC councilor bought up the land, the housing project was going to be built on, hoping that he could sell it at a highly inflated price? I remember seeing an article in the Herald about it.

"This did not deter the ANC-led coalition government, which celebrated the development as a victory for “land expropriation without compensation."

Typical anc. Celebrating theft. The one thing they're always proud of.

No, by law, they have to expropriate white owned lands. I am sure I heard it here.

This whole thing is fishy. The councilor who bought the land was a Dr Ravin, or something similar i cant remember exactly, and he bought it hoping to make a quick buck. He resigned shortly after the news broke and was uncontactable by city officials and the newspapers.

How many of those houses have Deed Titles.
Are they, according to the law, going to present alternative accommodation?

PS:- anc "there is no expropriation without compensation in SA"

Mugarbage would be proud of this.

Another big "nothing-burger". Makes for nice click bait sensationalist headlines though.

As it pushed to launch Phase 2 of the Kleinskool Housing Project and issue title deeds to residents, it faced a legal problem because it did not own the underlying property.
To bypass this, the ANC-led coalition government in Nelson Mandela Bay moved to invoke expropriation processes.
The move was widely characterised as an attempt by the municipality to expropriate private land without compensation.

just start the process to expropriate Mr Squirrels house for example, or any ANC big wig. See how far that goes.
