The Expropriation Law in South Africa enables the government to take land from private owners, including white Afrikaners, for public use, raising concerns over potential violence and land grabs. Despite the anxiety expressed by Afrikaner groups, the South African government denies claims of persecution linked to the law. President Ramaphosa aims to address international relations with the US amid criticisms from President Trump. The recently passed legislation serves as a replacement for an outdated Act from the apartheid era, and allows for land seizure without compensation in specific circumstances.
