The Expropriation Bill is intended to replace the current and Apartheid-era law, namely the Expropriation Act of 1975, which is inconsistent with the Constitution in many respects, says Public Works and Infrastructure Minister Patricia de Lille. The current Bill proposes to bring the law in line with the Constitution. The Expropriation Bill has been drafted by the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure after extensive consultation and with the assistance of senior counsel and Constitutional experts.
