Traditional leader asks Zuma for referendum on land expropriation
30 March 2017
Cape Town – President Jacob Zuma must call a national referendum on land expropriation without compensation, the National House of Traditional Leaders heard on Thursday.
"The notion of expropriation without compensation follows the logic of dispossession without reparation," Prince Burns-Ncamashe said during a debate about Zuma's March 3 speech to the House, where the topic of land took centre stage.
Zuma was present on Thursday.
Burns-Ncamashe’s suggestion received the loudest applause of the day from all quarters of the House.
