Operation Phakisa
![Page 17: EXPROPRIATION FOR (RADICAL) ECONOMIC ... - Land Governancelandgovernance.org/assets/Hanri-Mostert.pdf · Land Law Insecure land relations Statutory exclusion Group Areas Double standards](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052022/60374dc8648df87b22151ff6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Operation Phakisa:
‘just and equitable’
compensation does not
mean the State should
pay a premium for land
reform
Zero Compensation
Possible
Narrower Understanding:
• Intellectual Property
• LR = Restitution Only
• Market-based
compensation
• Critical of Land Valuer
General’s Office
Radically different
approach:
• Land use licences
• State custodianship
• No Compensation –
see MPRDA
