South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has signed into law a bill allowing land seizures by the state without compensation - a move that has put him at odds with some members of his government.
Black people only own a small fraction of farmland nationwide more than 30 years after the end of the racist system of apartheid - the majority remains with the white minority.
This has led to frustration and anger over the slow pace of reform.
While Ramaphosa's ANC party hailed the law as a "significant milestone" in the country's transformation, some members of the coalition government say they may challenge it in court.
The law "outlines how expropriation can be done and on what basis" by the state, the government says.
It replaces the pre-democratic Expropriation Act of 1975, which placed an obligation on the state to pay owners it wanted to take land from, under the principle of "willing seller, willing buyer".
The new law allows for expropriation without compensation only in circumstances where it is "just and equitable and in the public interest" to do so.
This includes if the property is not being used and there's no intention to either develop or make money from it or when it poses a risk to people.
The president's spokesperson Vincent Magwenya said that, under the law, the state "may not expropriate property arbitrarily or for a purpose other than... in the public interest".
"Expropriation may not be exercised unless the expropriating authority has without success attempted to reach an agreement with the owner," he added.
The signing of the law comes after a five-year consultative process as well as the findings of a presidential panel set up to look into the issue.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
He just the other day in front of the entire world said this was not happening.
Just say no to foreign aid. Let them die.
This Marxist was lying to Trump in the Oval Office. Trump didn’t fall for it and this is more proof of where he is coming from.
Well, he IS lying Marxist, racist, POS…. He did what he do….
not until all the white South Africans are safely resettled here
The sanctions are?
Historically, blacks do not self-govern well.
All those years of virtue signaling for shunning places doing commerce with South Africa under apartheid.
Should we do the same for a true genocidal regime that is taking the lives of innocent people based on their skin color?
Yes.
LIAR!!!
Sadly, there is not on e cou ntry or city run by blacks that is SAFE a d prosperous !
There should be no foreign aid at all to Africa. Not a single penny.
Darwin needs to get to work over there. We'd have bases on Pluto by now if we weren't spending trillions babysitting a population who will never produce anything except violence, poverty, misery, ignorance, and babies.
not until all the white South Africans are safely resettled here

Yes, and on their way out, the farmers should burn everything to the ground and if possible, salt the earth. They should leave nothing in tact.
Q for the UK: SA is still part of the Commonwealth...why?
Correct. Let the racist tribal ferals die by virtue of their own nature.
NO assistance.
NO sympathy.
As a Michigander I distinctly remember Gov. G. Mennen Williams in 1961 calling for Africa for the Africans. As Assistant Secretary for African Affairs appointed by John F. Kennedy. He was Dem. Governor for 6 terms and later Michigan Supreme Court Chief Justice.
Wikipedia.
Whites in South Africa and Rhodesia, and in the British and Portuguese colonies contended that Williams wanted them expelled from the continent. Williams defended his remarks, saying that he included white Africans as Africans.
Williams was defended by Kennedy at a press conference, saying that “Africa for the Africans does not seem to me to be an unreasonable statement.” Kennedy said that Williams made it clear he was referring to Africans of all colors, and “I don’t know who else Africa should be for.”
This anger and policy will lead to killings and war. The reality is that black South Africans and white farmers cannot be easily reconciled. Here is a solution to avoid killing and chaos. Britain and the Netherlands benefitted the most in South Africa. Let them together establish a fund to buy out white farmers at a fair price, turn over the land to the black South African government to redistribute the land as they see fit and offer the white farmers and their families th right to resettle in Britain or the Netherlands.
They don't need to do any such thing.
Hell, they can give every piece of farm equipment a fresh oil change, new tires, and a tuneup. The Africans will destroy it all in a matter of a few years.
In 1994, whites literally handed black South Africans a turn-key First World nation. First-rate infrastructure, universities, research institutions, hospitals, tourism, farming, manufacturing, you name it.
"Here you go! This is all yours!"
The blacks destroyed it all.
You are absolutely right but I’d still destroy it all.
Maybe the video Trump showed him lost something in the translation. 🤔
