What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

President Cyril Ramaphosa assured that land reform would proceed through Parliament's process, which requires funding from the National Treasury. Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane noted that Parliament passed a resolution allowing for the expropriation of land without compensation. This resolution established a Constitutional Review Committee to examine the legal and economic aspects of the process.
