IN DEPTH: We’re going ahead with land expropriation without compensation, says Ramaphosa

SA’s new president said that his administration would be continuing with a policy of land expropriation of land without compensation.

The decision to expropriate land without compensation was taken by the ANC at its 54th Congress, where Cyril Ramaphosa was elected ANC President. 

“We will accelerate our land redistribution programme not only to redress a grave historical injustice, but also to bring more producers into the agricultural sector and to make more land available for cultivation,” Ramaphosa said during his maiden State of the Natioan Address in Parliament on Friday evening.
