BDL talks to Terence Corrigan, Project Manager, at the Institute of Race Relations about the Expropriation Bill. The Bill has enormous ramifications for the 1 million white and 8.7 million black South Africans who own houses, as well as for the roughly 17 million black people with informal rights to plots held in customary tenure. All these individuals will be vulnerable to expropriation by a government that is cash-strapped with little to no options for remedy.

Thanks to pressure from the IRR the deadline for public comment has been extended to the end of the month.
