The Constitutional Review Committee has been tasked with reviewing section 25 and other clauses to make it possible for the state to expropriate land in the public interest, without compensation. Taking into account what ordinary South Africans, policy-makers, civil society organisations and academics have to say about the issue, the committee will then make recommendations to Parliament, in the form of constitutional amendments.

They have been given a deadline of 30 August 2018 by which to do all of this.
