Expropriation Act, 2024

The Expropriation Act, 2024 (Act No. 13 of 2024) is an act of the Parliament of South Africa that establishes the framework for compulsory property acquisition by South African government entities. The Act envisages the repeal of the apartheid-era Expropriation Act, 1975 and will come into operation on a date determined by the President by proclamation in the Government Gazette.

The Act has been controversial throughout its legislative history, owing in particular to its provision for the payment of "nil compensation" to persons whose land is expropriated in certain specified circumstances.
