Ff Plus Seeks To Refer Expropriation Act To Constitutional Court

The Freedom Front Plus says it plans to invite all political party leaders in Parliament and request their support to refer the Expropriation Act directly to the Constitutional Court to determine its constitutionality.

President Cyril Ramaphosa signed the bill into law yesterday.

FF Plus leader Pieter Groenewald says the constitution allows the Constitutional Court to consider an Act, if a third of the members of the National Assembly make such a request.

"As leader of the Freedom Front Plus, I am writing a letter to each and every party leader in National Assembly and request their support that we can refer the Expropriation Act signed by the President directly to the Constitutional Court to determine its constitutionality. Section 8 of the constitution determines if a third of the members of the National Assembly request such an action and it must be within the signing by the President, then the Constitutional Court must consider the Act," says Groenewald.
