Moving towards addressing the lingering effects of apartheid, South Africa has taken a step toward land reform. President Cyril Ramaphosa recently signed an expropriation act. This initiative has reignited discussions about land ownership and racial inequality in the country.

President Cyril Ramaphosa has defended South Africa's Expropriation Act, introduced in January, saying that it will "balance the need for public usage of land and the protection of the rights of property owners". Ramaphosa vehemently denied that the policy targets white landowners, as Trump had insinuated.
