2021 Version of the Constitution Eighteenth Amendment Bill

Sakeliga’s comprehensive submission on the 2021 version of the Constitution Eighteenth Amendment Bill can be found here.

The Amendment Bill proposes to insert the phenomena of confiscation (so-called “expropriation without compensation”) and nationalisation (so-called “state custodianship”) into South African constitutional and property law.

Sakeliga believes the revised Constitution Eighteenth Amendment Bill represents significant, perhaps existential, threats to the market economy and to constitutionalism in South Africa. Sakeliga will under no circumstances accept the proposed amendment to the Constitution.
