SAPOA was invited by the Department of Public Works to address its comments on the Expropriation Bill in Parliament at the Public Hearings.

The South African Property Owners Association (SAPOA) has expressed its support for the Department of Public Works' decision to seize misappropriated state properties.

South African government is to embark on the second phase of its land audit, aimed at identifying who owns the 79% of privately owned land, including their nationality and their demographic profile.

The Gauteng executive had also approved, last week, the creation of a new not-for-profit enterprise, the Gautrain Management Agency, which would essentially manage government's overall risk exposure to the mega project.
