FMF NEWSLETTER 29 August 2018

EWC is an assault on the constitutional right to dignity  – MARK OPPENHEIMER and CECELIA KOK

Land dispossession was commonplace in pre-democratic South Africa. People were kicked off their land because past regimes had no regard for individual property rights. With such dispossession came humiliation and a stripping of individual agency. Individuals lost their homes, their livelihoods; many lost land that had been painstakingly acquired and cultivated. Many lost their dignity. 

The ANC is harking back to our pre-democratic era by publicly declaring its intention to amend the Constitution, the agreement on which our democratic society rests, to enable expropriation without compensation (EWC).
