The Democratic Alliance contests South Africa's controversial Expropriation Act, igniting tensions following Donald Trump's funding cut over alleged rights violations.
Overview
South Africa's Democratic Alliance has legally challenged the new Expropriation Act, which allows land to be expropriated without compensation. U.S. President Trump's criticism of the law, calling it a violation of rights for the white minority, led to his executive order cutting aid to South Africa. The government defends the act, stating it protects private property rights and targets unused land, while the DA argues that such powers threaten property rights. The escalating political tension underscores the complexities of land reform amidst historical injustices.
