An Open Letter from the British Australian Community Urging Suspension of Australian Aid to South Africa Over Anti-White Property Rights Violations

3 February 2025

On 23 January 2025, South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa signed the new Expropriation Act 13 into law. This legislation allows the government to expropriate, or compulsorily acquire, private property for public purposes or when deemed to be in the public interest. Notably, the law permits expropriation without compensation.

The South African government contends that expropriating property is essential to address land inequality in the country. The ruling African National Congress (ANC) further argues that accelerating the transfer of land from White to Black South Africans is necessary. However, many South Africans believe that this move undermines existing property rights, which are enshrined in the country’s constitution.

In response to these developments, former U.S. President Donald Trump recently announced that the United States would cut off all future funding to South Africa until a full investigation into the land expropriation process is conducted.

The British Australian Community believes the Australian government should take similar action, suspending all aid to South Africa while a thorough review of the issue takes place.
