The Democratic Alliance (DA) considers the signing of the Expropriation Bill into law by President Cyril Ramaphosa a matter of the utmost seriousness. It is a direct attack on the constitutional rights of South Africans.
We have obtained a legal opinion that the Expropriation Bill is unconstitutional. We will fight this dangerous legislation by every possible means, including in the courts.
We will not stand by as the government seeks to undermine our rights and erode the rule of law. Tomorrow, at a media conference, DA Leader, John Steenhuisen, will outline the next steps in response to this deeply concerning development. He will also set out our firm stance on the National Health Insurance (NHI) Act and how both of these laws represent a grave threat to the future of South Africa.
The DA will unpack our action plan and how we intend to hold the government accountable for these reckless and unconstitutional moves.
Issued by Willie Aucamp MP & Karabo Khakhau MP - DA National Spokespersons
