Uittreksel uit die Afrikanerbond se kommentaar in Januarie 2020 

 “Eiendomsreg is een van die fundamentele regte vervat in die Handves van Regte, wat in artikel 7 van die RSA Grondwet beskryf word as 'n “hoeksteen van die demokrasie in Suid-Afrika.” Dit verskans die regte van alle mense in ons land en bevestig die demokratiese waardes van menswaardigheid, gelykheid en vryheid. Dit gee verder die mandaat aan die staat om die “regte in die Handves van Regte te eerbiedig, te beskerm, te bevorder en te verwesenlik.  Met inagneming van bogenoemde en veral ons beredenering in die die onderstaande kan die Afrikanerbond nie anders as om die grondwetwysiging te verwerp nie."

Lewer nou kommentaar

Suid-Afrikaners het nou tot 13 Augustus 2021 geleentheid om kommentaar te lewer op die voorgestelde 18de wysigingswetsontwerp op die Grondwet (om onteiening met nul rand vergoeding vir die doeleindes van grondhervorming duidelik daarin te skryf)

Volgens Netwerk24 het die ANC het met sy meerderheidstem in die ad hoc komitee die volgende wysigings ingestem, waaroor kommentaar gelewer kan word.

Dit is:

• Dat waar grond en enige ander verbetering daarop onteien word vir die doel van grondhervorming, die vergoedingsbedrag betaalbaar nul rand mag wees.
• Dat nasionale wetgewing die toestande moet bepaal waar die vergoedingsbedrag nul rand is.
• Dat ’n nuwe subafdeling 4A ingevoeg moet word wat aandui dat die staat grond, wat die gedeelde erfenis van alle landsburgers is, moet beskerm
• Dat subafdeling 5 ingevoeg moet word wat aandui dat die staat redelike wetgewende en ander maatreëls moet instel om dit vir die staat moontlik te maak om voogskap van sekere grond te kry sodat landsburgers toegang tot grond op gelyke grondslag kan kry.

Ad Hoc Committee to Amend Section 25 of the Constitution

In December 2019 and January 2020, the ad hoc Committee to Initiate and Introduce Legislation Amending Section 25 of the Constitution invited stakeholders and interested persons to submit written submissions on the Draft Constitution Eighteenth Amendment Bill [B – 2019]. The committee received and deliberated on proposals received from members of the public. The committee requests further submissions on proposals to amend the Constitution so as to provide that:

• Where land and any improvements thereon are expropriated for the purposes of land reform, the amount of compensation payable may be nil;
• That national legislation must provide circumstances where the amount of compensation is nil;
• Land should be a common heritage of all citizens that the state must safeguard for future generations;
• Conditions should be fostered to enable state custodianship of certain land in order for citizens to gain access to land on an equitable basis; and
• To provide for matters connected therewith.

The Ad Hoc Committee to Initiate and Introduce Legislation Amending Section 25 of the Constitution calls for public comment on the revised 18th Constitutional Amendment Bill, which will see the expropriation of land without compensation embedded in the Constitution.
 
Submissions must be sent to Mr V Ramaano at section25@parliament.gov.za by no later than Friday, 13 August 2021.

Enquires can be directed to Mr Ramaano at vramaano@parliament.gov.za and 083 709 8427

Issued by Hon. Dr Mathole Motshekga, MP, Chairperson: ad hoc committee to initiate and introduce legislation amending section 25 of the Constitution

Committee Chairperson Dr Mathole Motshekga said: “The revised Bill is the product of the initial Bill on the matter followed by a comprehensive public participation process. This was followed by intensive deliberations by the committee on what came out of the public participation process in comparison to what is in the initial Bill. The committee has resolved to open the process up again as the initial Bill was a compromised Bill agreed to merely to kick-start the process.”
 
The purpose of the revised Constitution 18th Amendment Bill is to amend section 25 of the Constitution so as to provide that where land is expropriated for land reform, the amount of compensation payable may be nil. Further, to clarify that nil compensation is a legitimate option for land reform, so as to address the historic wrongs caused by the arbitrary dispossession of land, and in so doing ensure equitable access to land and further empower the majority of South Africans to be productive participants in ownership, food security and agricultural reform programmes.
