When can land be expropriated?

One of the key focuses of the bill are the circumstances when land may be expropriated without compensation. This includes:
  • Where the land is not being used and the owner’s main purpose is not to develop the land or use it to generate income, but to benefit from an appreciation of its market value;
  • Where an organ of state holds land that it is not using for its core functions and is not reasonably likely to require the land for its future activities in that regard, and the organ of state acquired the land for no consideration;
  • Where an owner has abandoned the land by failing to exercise control over it – notwithstanding registration of ownership in terms of the Deeds Registries Act;
  • Where the market value of the land is equivalent to, or less than, the present value of direct state investment or subsidy in the acquisition and beneficial capital improvement of the land;
  • When the nature or condition of the property poses a health, safety or physical risk to persons or other property.''

New traffic rules say you must now pay an extra R100 when fined
The Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (Aarto) Act has introduced a new “infringement penalty levy” of R100 which is payable on every infringement committed.

While this levy is not new – it was contained in the Aarto Act signed into law in August 2019 – it was once again highlighted in the recently published information related to the Aarto regulations.
