PLAAS criticises the Democratic Alliance’s suggestion that the green paper on land reform is unconstitutional

The Institute for Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies (PLAAS) has criticised the Democratic Alliance’s suggestion that the green paper on land reform is unconstitutional.

PLAAS senior researcher, Dr Ruth Hall, points out that, "Nothing in the green paper suggests the need for a constitutional amendment."

The organisation argues that the green paper provides almost no guidance on any of the crucial questions facing land and agrarian reform in South Africa, adding that it is ‘insubstantial and vague’.
