Groups oppose expropriation bill
2008-06-12 · Legal / Property Policy
A dozen rightist and mainly Afrikaner organisations have decided on joint action against the expropriation bill currently progressing through parliament.
The groups have named five individuals to decide on what action to take and to carry it forward. This "interim committee" comprises Kallie Kriel from the AfriForum, a lobby group associated with the Solidarity trade union, Bennie van Zyl from the agriculture union TAU SA, Theo de Jager who chairs Agri-SA's land affairs committee, Dave Steward of the FW De Klerk Foundation and Jaco Schoeman from the Afrikanerbond.
The organisations supporting the protests also include the Agricultural Employers' Organisation, the National Tax Payers' Union, the Freedom Front Plus, the Democratic Alliance, the Regslui vir Afrikaans and the Afrikanerfront.
A statement issued by the group after their meeting in Johannesburg on Tuesday said that in addition to parliamentary submissions and presentations already made and still to be made, legal action is being planned. - Michael Hamlyn, I-Net Bridge
