Abstract
provides for property (which include land) to be expropriated for public purpose or public interest and that public purpose and public interest include the nation's commitment to land reform. In terms of the White Paper on land policy, expropriation will be considered in situations where there is no reasonable alternative land and the owner eitherwill not sell, or will not negotiate a fair price. In considering what is a fair price, regard must be had to the compensation formula set out in the Bill of Rights. It is therefore accepted policy of the Department to engage in expropriation of land to the benefit of land reform beneficiaries. However, as yet, there are no procedural guidelines to effect expropriation of land relevant to the Department. The process, as prescribed in the Expropriation Act, 1975 (Act 63 of 1975), (hereafter referred to as the Expropriation Act), had to be adjusted to take into consideration Section 12 of the Provision of Land and Assistance Act, 1993 (Act 126 of 1993), (hereafter referred to as Act 126) and Section 26 of the Extension of Security of Tenure Act, 1997 (Act 62 of 1997), (hereafter referred to as ESTA), with due regard to the conditions as set out in
