"(The Right to…) PROPERTY Samkelo Bunu East London/Eastern Cape woodcut “…the complicated issue of property focuses on two essential points…the right to be protected from arbitrary deprivation of property. Any kind of expropriation must be justified by the public interest and subject to a just and equitable compensation. The second point centers on the nation’s commitment to land reform and redress, in light of past dispossessions of property as a result off racially discriminatory laws.”
