 South African coalition party goes to court over law that angered Trump


South Africa's Democratic Alliance, the second-largest party in the ‌governing coalition, went to court on Monday to challenge a land seizure law that U.S. President Donald Trump cited when cutting off aid to the country last year.


The case has caused friction with the ​biggest party, the African National Congress, as the country gears up for municipal ​elections in November.


The Expropriation Act allows the state to seize land in ⁠the public interest, in some cases without compensating the owner, as part of efforts ​to redress the legacy of apartheid, Reuters reported.


It has been the subject of lengthy and often acrimonious ​debate for years, and was signed into law by President Cyril Ramaphosa in January 2025. No land has been seized to date.


The pro-business and mostly white-led DA says the legislation gives the government "vague and ​sweeping powers" and it will deter investment.


South Africa's government has ​rejected Trump's criticisms ⁠of its land reform policies and says the Expropriation Act is comparable to similar laws in many other countries.


The DA's case will ​be heard along with two other legal challenges launched by groups ​promoting the ⁠interests of Afrikaners, descendants of mostly Dutch settlers who Trump has offered refuge, alleging they face discrimination though South Africa vehemently rejects that claim.
