We are a conquered nation” retorts EFF CIC Julius Malema. This was said in a call to have Land expropriated without compensation. Law Focus this week focusses on the call to amend section 25 of the Constitution to allow for expropriation of land without compensation.

We explore views by DA leader Mmusi Maimane, EFF leader, Julius Malema and ANC leader Cyril Ramaphosa. We also include the call made by the Constitutional Review Committee chairperson Mr Vincent Smith for submissions vis-à-vis to the amendment of section 25.
