A South African lawyer, Tembeka Ngcukaitobi, dispels myths surrounding the Land Expropriation Act of 2025, explaining that it is unlikely to result in the expropriation of actively used settler-owned land without compensation. The act, intended to address historical land injustices, has been criticized by some as persecution of white settlers, while others argue it doesn't go far enough to redistribute land ownership.
The Land Expropriation Act allows the government to expropriate privately owned land for public purposes or in the public interest, with nil compensation in rare cases.
Nil compensation will likely only apply to idle and abandoned land.
White settlers own more than 72% of the land in South Africa, despite making up only about 7% of the population.
