At the beginning of this year, South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa signed a bill into law which allows for private land to be seized by the government. Known as the Expropriation Act, it's a power that many democratic governments around the world can exercise – the seizure of private property for public use in return for compensation. But in South Africa's case, the plan is not to offer compensation, in certain circumstances, such as if land was needed for public use and all other avenues to acquire the land exhausted. And it is this caveat that has provoked strong reactions both domestically and on the international front. Even within the President's own party, the ANC, there are those who would prefer more consultation before the law can be implemented. Whilst the Democratic Alliance, the second largest party in South Africa's coalition government, says that it supports legislation addressing land restitution, it does takes issue with the process followed by the country's parliament to enact the law. It is testing the Act's constitutionality with legal action. And now President Trump has signed an executive order cutting US financial aid to South Africa, the order claims that this Act would enable the government to seize the agricultural property of ethnic minority Afrikaners without compensation. For his part, President Cyril Ramaphosa has announced that he'll be sending envoys to various countries to explain South Africa's positioning on the Expropriation Act, amongst other recent policy changes.
