The hearings are headed by Parliament’s joint constitutional review committee.
Co-chairperson Louis Nzimande urged the audience at the Cecil Emmet Sports Complex to adhere to a time of three minutes each, and stick to the subject at hand – whether land should be expropriated with or without compensation.
These proceedings have been put in place to give citizens an opportunity to air their views and have their voices heard on expropriation without compensation
