Land: The people speak - Tshwane residents unhappy as hearings hit Gauteng
26 July 2018
Gauteng residents will have a chance to air their views on the critical land question when Parliament's Constitutional Review Committee makes three stops in the province this week.
Two delegations of the committee have been conducting public hearings across the country to hear South Africans' views on whether or not Section 25 of the Constitution should be amended to allow expropriation without compensation.
Earlier this year, most political parties in the National Assembly supported a motion the EFF had brought forward for the expropriation of land without compensation. The committee was instructed to investigate if there was a need to amend the Constitution to make this possible.
The joint committee hearings are expected to be held at Westonaria Civic Centre in the West Rand on Thursday, the Sedibeng Town Hall in Vereeniging on Friday and at the Lucas van den Berg Community Hall in Pretoria West on Saturday.
