Ramaphosa: Cabinet will consider minority report on land reform

[Jopie Fourie]

The Cabinet will consider the minority report of the presidential panel of experts on land reform and agriculture, President Cyril Ramaphosa assured the National Assembly on Thursday.

In July, the panel published its report, but two members, Dan Kriek and Nic Serfontein, did not endorse the report and provided their own.

The main reason for their opposition is expropriation without compensation. Their views are reflected in the panel's report.

The panel was appointed in September 2018 to advise the government on circumstances in which the policy on expropriation without compensation will be implemented, what procedures to follow and institutions to enforce, as well as the rights of any affected persons, including the rights to judicial review.

The panel made a range of recommendations, including under which circumstances land could be expropriated without compensation.

We simply do not give two flying f**ks whether the minority reports will be accepted or not.

If the Constitution is changed to allow for EWC under any circumstance, then property rights are no longer guaranteed.

We will lobby the s**t out of the West until South Africa is kicked for being in breach on Section 1 of AGOA and until all government officials, in their personal capacities are sanctioned - and that long before any property is actually taken.
