South African President Nelson Mandela signed the final Constitution on December 10, 1996. It came into effect on February 4, 1997, replacing the interim Constitution of 1993. The Constitution includes the Bill of Rights, which sets out a wide range of fundamental human rights. It prohibits discrimination and affirms that everyone is equal before the law and entitled to equal protection. These rights include, among others, the rights to life, human dignity, freedom and security of the person, privacy, education, freedom of expression, association and assembly, freedom of religion, and the right to vote.

The Foundation for Peace in Divided Societies believes that property rights are an important human right and an important part of a stable constitutional democracy. In recent years, debates around land reform and expropriation in South Africa have increased public concern about the protection of property rights and the potential implications for the rule of law, economic confidence, and individual freedom. In 2025, South Africa enacted new expropriation legislation, including provisions under which nil compensation may in certain circumstances be considered just and equitable. The Foundation supports lawful, constitutional protections for property rights and works to promote public awareness and informed discussion around these issues. We invite those who share these concerns to support our work.
