What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The powers granted under the Expropriation Law have expanded to include about 420 authorities, extending far beyond the central government. These powers are available to nonfunctional or bankrupt local municipalities and some provincial governments. The law applies to both movable and immovable property, including intangible assets, provided the action is for a public purpose or in the public interest.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The expansion allows for decentralized execution of expropriation powers across the country. This shift means that local and provincial bodies now possess the authority to intervene in property holdings under the law's parameters. The law specifically states that the powers include, but are not limited to, certain types of property.

Ramaphosa had previously signed the Expropriation Bill into law, a process that has faced legal challenges from various groups.
