The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) is calling for an urgent amendment of the Constitution to provide for the expropriation of land without compensation.
Introducing the motion for debate in the National Assembly, EFF leader Julius Malema said the provisions of the constitution allow for amendments to be made in order to address the thorny issue of land ownership.
“We want to say to the African National Congress (ANC) ‘this is an opportune moment since you have agreed to your conference to amend the constitution’. Anyone who says we can expropriate land without compensation without amending the constitution, that person is misleading us. Because if that was the case the ANC would have long expropriated this land without compensation. So, we need to amend this constitution and we must amend this constitution unashamedly,” says Malema.
