The South African construction industry has experienced an evolution that has steered building design and construction towards more sustainable forms.  This research endeavors to determine the persuasive drivers behind green commercial building investment in South Africa by developers while also aiming to determine the influences that might hinder green building investment decisions.

Regulations to the Property Valuation Act

Land Expropriation without compensation – New Draft Expropriation Bill 2019

The Regulations to the Property Valuation Act of 2014 were gazetted on 30 November 2018. The Minister of Rural Development and Land Reform has, under section 20 read together with section1 of the Property Valuation Act, 2014, made the regulations in the Schedule available here.

Regulations to the PVA 2018

So, you thought a Constitutional amendment to Section 25 of the Constitution was necessary for expropriation without compensation. Think again and you may already have been caught off-guard. The Department of Public Works, through Minister Nxesi published and invited comments within 60 days of publication of the Draft Expropriation Bill 2019 in the Government Gazette 21st December 2018. This will no doubt be rushed through in time for the elections as a Constitutional change will probably require more time. Click here to continue reading.
