Fighting ELWC, IRR takes Parliament committee on judicial review
JOHANNESBURG — Fewer issues than land expropriation without compensation elicit such highly, emotionally charged feelings among South Africans. So, when a Parliament committee on Thursday controversially announced that it would start the process of changing the Constitution to affect so-called land 'ELWC', the likes of the Institute of Race Relations (IRR) were already waiting in the wings to fight back. The battle has started with the IRR launching a legal process to take the committee on judicial review. And as Anthea Jeffery – who is the Head of Policy Research at the IRR – explains in this podcast, her organisation is of the view that there is a good chance of successfully reviewing the committee's decision because the committee has ignored 99% of all written submissions on the matter. – Gareth van Zyl
