Hon Deputy Speaker, the ACDP appreciates that the land issue is a very sensitive and potentially divisive issue given the history land possession in the country. While we believe that justice must be done, we also strongly believe in reconciliation and nation- building. Biblical justice can be achieved through a process of restitution with compensation. The ACDP believes and we support land reform and the restitution of land in an orderly and lawful manner and we on record that we doo not support expropriation or any amendment of section 25 to allow expropriation without compensation.
