The legal challenge against the controversial new Law on the seizure of land in the center of a series with US President Donald Trump has filed a Democratic Union (yes), which is part of the coalition government of South Africa.
Expropriation law Allows the government to take away private land for no compensation in certain cases.
Trump, as a result, frozen his foreign aid to the earth, claiming that the land was already seized.
The Government, consisting of 10 parties led by the African National Congress (ANC), said that the US president’s actions were based on the “campaign of misinformation and propaganda aimed at the wrong presentation of our great nation.”
Anc was forced to share a government agreement Last year after losing her parliamentary majority, for the first time in three decades, in the general election of May.
Yes, which is the second largest party of the coalition, she called the Law on Expropriation unconstitutional, claiming that no democratic government should be given powers to deprive property without compensation.
It said Southern Africa President Cyril Ramaphos signed a law against his advice.
The ownership of the land has long been a disputed issue in South Africa, and most of the private agricultural land owned by white people 30 years after the end of the racist Apartheid system.
There were continuous calls to deal with the land reform and deal with the past injustices of racial segregation.
But in its argument against the Law on Expropriation, the majority white to say that the Aparthey Government used similar powers to remove indigenous communities from its country and to protect property rights for all South Africa.
“This history teaches us that the true compensation requires the protection of property rights, ensuring that no government is no longer given to unverified power of expropriation,” the party statement said.
In a statement last week, he said Trump was deeply concerned about the threat of stopping financing.
Anc said that the land was not seized without compensation, and added that it would only happen in extraordinary circumstances, for example, if the land for public use and all other ways to acquire the country were exhausted.
Trump’s executive command during the weekend for freezing said that now “I cannot support the Government of the Law on South Africa Rights in their country.”
Also as long as South Africa “continues these unjust and immoral practices,” then it will not provide assistance or help now.
The White House said Washington would also formulate a plan for the relocation of farmers and their families as refugees.
It said US officials would take steps to prioritize humanitarian reliefs, including reception and relocation through the Refugee Recovery Program for African States in South Africa, which are mostly white descendants of early Dutch and French settlers.
President Ramaphos said he would send envoys to various countries to explain the recent changes to the Government policy, including the Law on Expropriation.
