No. 51964
AI-assisted research summary: The expropriating authority must decide claims, give written notice, and provide reasons when rejecting a claim. It also has duties about unregistered rights and may require compensation in some cases.
26 No. 51964 GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 24 JANuARy 2025 Act no.13 of 2024 Expropriation Act, 2024 26 (5)(a) The expropriating authority must decide on the claim contemplated in subsection (1) within 20 days of expiry of the period referred to in subsection (4) and notify the claimant in writing of the decision. (b) If the expropriating authority accepts the claim contemplated in subsection (1), the expropriating authority must serve the notice contemplated in section 11(2) on such claimant. (c) If the expropriating authority does not accept the claim contemplated in subsection (1), the expropriating authority must inform the claimant accordingly in writing and must provide reasons for the rejection. (6) The expropriating authority may require the expropriated owner to compensate a person who held an unregistered right, if that person was not given notice of the expropriation as provided in this Act, and if the owner ought reasonably to have identified that person in terms of section 7(2)(j) but did not do so. (7) The expropriating authority may exercise the power in terms of subsection (6) only after giving the expropriated owner a reasonable opportunity to make representa- tions in that regard. 5 10 15 Consequences of expropriation of unregistered rights and duties of expropriating authority 11. (1) A person who becomes an expropriated holder of a right by the operation of section 9(1)(b), subject to section 10 and this section, is entitled to compensation. 20 (2) If the expropriating authority becomes aware that an unregistered right in the expropriated property has been expropriated by the operation of section 9(1)(b) and becomes aware of the identity of the expropriated holder of a right thereof, the expropriating authority must serve on that expropriated holder of a right a notice that the unregistered right has been expropriated, together with a copy of the notice of expropriation served on the expropriated owner in terms of section 8(1). (3) The notice contemplated in subsection (2) must— (a) inform the expropriated holder of a right of the date on which the right to possession of the expropriated property passed to the expropriating authority in terms of section 9(2) or (4); (b) contain a statement contemplated in section 8(3)(f), if applicable; and (c) except if this information was furnished in terms of section 10(1), request the expropriated holder of a right to deliver to the expropriating authority, within 20 days of receipt of the notice, subject to section 23, a copy of any written instrument in their possession or under their control which evidences the unregistered right. (4) When a notice in terms of subsection (2) has been served on the expropriated holder of a right concerned, this Act applies with the changes required by the context as if such notice were a notice of expropriation in terms of section 8(1) in respect of such unregistered right, but if that expropriated holder of a right is a lessee, he or she remains liable to pay rental to the expropriated owner until the right to possession passes in terms of section 9(2) or (4) and, if applicable, thereafter to the expropriating authority. (5) If the expropriated owner or expropriated holder of a right knew of the existence of an unregistered right contemplated in subsection (2) and failed to inform the expropriating authority of the existence thereof, the expropriated owner or expropriated holder of a right, as the case may be, is liable to the expropriating authority for any loss incurred in the event of the expropriating authority having to pay compensation for the expropriation of the unregistered right after the date of payment of compensation to the expropriated owner or expropriated holder of a right, as the case may be. 25 30 35 40 45 This gazette is also available free online at www.gpwonline.co.za Molao Wa Go Tsea Dithoto, 2024 nomoro 13 ya 2024 STAATSKOERANT, 24 JANuARiE 2025 No. 51964 27 27 (5)(a) Bolaodi bja go tsˇ ea dithoto bo swanetsˇ e go tsˇ ea sephetho ka ga kleime ye e hlalosˇ itsˇ wego ka go karolwana ya (1) mo matsˇ atsˇ ing a 20 ka morago ga go fela ga nako yeo go bolelwago ka yona ka go karolwana ya (4) gomme bo tsebisˇ e motho yo a dirilego kleime ka ga sephetho sa bjona ka ka lengwalo.

AI-assisted research summary: This section says expropriation compensation must be just and equitable, and the expropriating authority must consider or ignore certain factors as set out here.
28 No. 51964 GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 24 JANuARy 2025 Act no.13 of 2024 Expropriation Act, 2024 28 CHAPTER 5 COMPENSATION FOR EXPROPRIATION Determination of compensation 12. (1) The amount of compensation must be just and equitable reflecting an equitable balance between the public interest, the interests of those affected, including an owner, holder of a right a morgagee, having regard to all relevant circumstances, including— (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) the current use of the property; the history of the acquisition and use of the property; the market value of the property; the extent of direct state investment and subsidy in the acquisition and beneficial capital improvement of the property; and the purpose of the expropriation. (2) In determining the amount of compensation to be paid in terms of this Act, the expropriating authority must not, unless there are special circumstances in which it would be just and equitable to do so, take account of— (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) the fact that the property has been taken without the consent of the owner or holder of a right; the special suitability or usefulness of the property for the purpose for which it is required by the expropriating authority, if it is unlikely that the property would have been purchased for that purpose in the open market; any enhancement in the value of the property, if such enhancement is a consequence of the use of the property in a manner which is unlawful; improvements made to the property in question after the date on which the notice of expropriation was served upon the expropriated owner or expropri- ated holder, as the case may be, except where the improvements were agreed to in advance by the expropriating authority or where they were undertaken in pursuance of obligations entered into before the date of expropriation; anything done with the object of obtaining compensation therefor; and any enhancement or depreciation, before or after the date of service of the notice of expropriation, in the value of the property in question, which can be directly attributed to the purpose in connection with which the property was expropriated. (3) It may be just and equitable for nil compensation to be paid where land is expropriated in the public interest, having regard to all relevant circumstances, including but not limited to— (a) where the land is not being used and the owner’s main purpose is not to develop the land or use it to generate income, but to benefit from appreciation of its market value; (b) where an organ of state holds land that it is not using for its core functions and is not reasonably likely to require the land for its future activities in that regard, and the organ of state acquired the land for no consideration; (c) notwithstanding registration of ownership in terms of the Deeds Registries Act, 1937 (Act No. 47 of 1937), where an owner has abandoned the land by failing to exercise control over it despite being reasonably capable of doing so; (d) where the market value of the land is equivalent to, or less than, the present value of direct state investment or subsidy in the acquisition and beneficial capital improvement of the land. (4) When a court or arbitrator determines the amount of compensation in terms of section 23 of the Land Reform (Labour Tenants) Act, 1996 (Act No. 3 of 1996), it may be just and equitable for nil compensation to be paid, having regard to all relevant circumstances.

(c) Requests for particulars 14. (1) The owner, mortgagee and holder of a right may request the expropriating authority, in writing, to provide reasonable particulars about the offer of compensation and particulars so requested must be furnished within 20 days of such request. (2) If the expropriating authority fails to provide the requested particulars, the person making such a request in terms of subsection (1) may, on notice, apply to a court for an order directing the expropriating authority to comply with subsection (1) and the court may make such an order. (3) An offer of just and equitable compensation remains in force until— (a) (b) (c) revised by the expropriating authority; the amount of compensation has been agreed upon; or the compensation has been decided or approved by a court. Payment of compensation 15. (1) Subject to sections 16, 17 and 18, an expropriated owner or expropriated holder of a right is entitled to payment of compensation on the date and in the manner as agreed to by the parties or as decided or approved by a court in terms of section 19. (2) The payment, utilisation or deposit of any amount contemplated in sections 16, 17 and 18 does not preclude the determination of an amount by agreement or by a court: Provided that where the amount so determined is less than the amount paid, the difference must be refunded to the expropriating authority together with interest at the rate contemplated in section 13 from the date on which the amount was so paid, utilised or deposited. 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 This gazette is also available free online at www.gpwonline.co.za Molao Wa Go Tsea Dithoto, 2024 nomoro 13 ya 2024 STAATSKOERANT, 24 JANuARiE 2025 No. 51964 31 Tswala ya tefo 31 - 13 Verify source ↗

36 No. 51964 GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 24 JANuARy 2025 Act no.13 of 2024 Expropriation Act, 2024 36 CHAPTER 6 MEDIATION AND DETERMINATION BY COURT Mediation and determination by court 19. (1) If the expropriating authority and a disputing party do not agree on the amount, time and manner of payment of compensation, they may attempt to settle the dispute by mediation, which must be initiated and finalised without undue delay by either party. (2) If the expropriating authority and disputing party do not settle the dispute by consensus or mediation, either party may, within 180 days of the date of the notice of expropriation, institute proceedings in a competent court for the court to decide or approve the amount, time and manner of payment of just and equitable compensation. (3) The disputing party may, instead of instituting such proceedings himself or herself, within 90 days of the date of the notice of expropriation request the expropriating authority, in writing, to institute such proceedings and the expropriating authority must institute such proceedings within 180 days of receiving such request. 5 10 (4) A court may extend the time periods in subsections (2) and (3) on good cause 15 shown and if the interests of justice so require. (5) The onus or burden of proof is not affected by whether it is the expropriating authority or the disputing party which institutes the proceedings referred to in this section. (6) Subsection (2) does not preclude a person from approaching a court on any matter 20 relating to the application of this Act. (7) Where a court finds that a provision of this Act has not been complied with, it may make such order as it considers just and equitable, having regard to all relevant circumstances, including— (a) (b) (c) (d) the nature and extent of the interest of the person who has challenged the conduct in question; the materiality of the non-compliance; the stage which has been reached in the expropriation process; and the interests of other persons which may be affected by the relief which is ordered. (8) Despite section 18 of the Superior Courts Act, 2013 (Act No. 10 of 2013), any appeal against the decision of a court on the amount of compensation will not prevent the expropriating authority from expropriating for the amount approved or decided, unless a court grants an interim interdict based on compelling prospects of success of the appeal. (9) A court may make any order as to costs that it considers just and equitable for proceedings contemplated in subsections (2) and (3). CHAPTER 7 URGENT EXPROPRIATION Urgent expropriation 20. (1) An expropriating authority may, if a property is required on an urgent basis for public purpose or in the public interest, exercise a right to use property temporarily for so long as it is urgently required but for no longer than 12 months.
