EFF welcomes the Constitutional Review Committee's final report on land expropriation

15 November 2018

The EFF welcomes the final report adopted today, by the Constitutional Review Committee, that the constitution must be amended to allow land expropriation without compensation.

We are proud of the democratic and rigorous consultative process; which ensued across the country to allow ordinary people, organized civil society, experts and academics to air their views on this historic amendment. This process was indeed one of the most rigorous in the history of parliamentary consultative processes, because it attracted unprecedented massive public participation. We extend gratitude to all South Africans who took the time to stand in long lines in winter and summer to give their view.

The Constitutional Review Committee has also taken a resolution that, a Constitutional Amendment Bill must be tabled and passed before the end of the 5th Democratic Parliament.

Long has this country waited for a decisive generation, who will consolidate the decolonization process with regards to the land. With the arrival of the EFF, this was attained in less than five years.
