Summary
The judge expressed concern that, under the proposed wording, the 180-day period for approaching a court could begin running while negotiations are still taking place. Counsel for the legislatures, Lerato Zikalala, addressed the court on the admitted drafting error in sections 19(2) and 19(3) of the Expropriation Act. Senior counsel for Parliament, Adv Kate Hofmeyr SC, has described the DA’s legal challenge to the Expropriation Act as a move that was launched before assessing the impact of the Act on people.
Furthermore, Hofmeyr presented the argument at Western Cape High Court where the DA, Afri-Forum, Die Vaderland Stigting, and the Institute for Race Relations Legal are challenging the legality of the Act.
