Expropriation will focus on commercial land – Zikalala
The ANC's proposed land expropriation policy focuses primarily on commercial land and how it can benefit South Africans economically, said KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) task team coordinator Sihle Zikalala.
"We have always been clear. We want expropriation without compensation. We have been saying that since (the ANC's June policy conference). But we want commercial land to economically assist black people in particular," Zikalala said on Monday.
He was speaking at the Coastlands Hotel in Durban's South Beach where the ANC in KZN held a land summit.
At the summit, regional structures of the party in the province convened and discussed intricacies surrounding the contentious issue.
Zikalala said there had been media hype and political posturing around the issue. He said commercial land was the end game for the party.
