Navigating the New Landscape of the Land Expropriation Without Compensation Act

The evening also featured a dynamic all-female panel — Deborah Carmichael, Ntsiki Adonisi, and Janine Thomas — who shed light on the following:

• Context and framing of the Act.
• Key features of the New Act.
• Expropriation process.
• Legal and sector implications.

While the Expropriation Act remains atopic of robust public debate, the session emphasized its alignment with global legal standards and its potential to balance the public interest with investor certainty.
