Expropriation Bill becomes law
Updated | By Bulletin
President Cyril Ramaphosa has signed the Expropriation Bill into law, replacing the 1975 Expropriation Act.

The Presidency's spokesperson, Vincent Magwenya, says according to the act, authorities must negotiate with property owners and use mediation or courts to resolve disputes.
