The Expropriation Act, which seeks to adjust land ownership, has raised alarms among white farmers reminiscent of Zimbabwe’s land seizures. The Democratic Alliance has launched a court challenge against the Act, citing constitutional breaches. Additionally, the law has strained diplomatic relations with the US, with Trump halting aid due to concerns over potential impacts on white-owned farms. Prominent figures, including Elon Musk, have weighed in, complicating the already polarized landscape.
