(b) If the expropriating authority accepts the claim contemplated in subsection (1), the expropriating authority must serve the notice contemplated in section 11(2) on such claimant. (c) If the expropriating authority does not accept the claim contemplated in subsection (1), the expropriating authority must inform the claimant accordingly in writing and must provide reasons for the rejection. (6) The expropriating authority may require the expropriated owner to compensate a person who held an unregistered right, if that person was not given notice of the expropriation as provided in this Act, and if the owner ought reasonably to have identified that person in terms of section 7(2)(j) but did not do so. (7) The expropriating authority may exercise the power in terms of subsection (6) only after giving the expropriated owner a reasonable opportunity to make representa- tions in that regard. Consequences of expropriation of unregistered rights and duties of expropriating authority 11. (1) A person who becomes an expropriated holder of a right by the operation of section 9(1)(b), subject to section 10 and this section, is entitled to compensation. (2) If the expropriating authority becomes aware that an unregistered right in the expropriated property has been expropriated by the operation of section 9(1)(b) and becomes aware of the identity of the expropriated holder of a right thereof, the expropriating authority must serve on that expropriated holder of a right a notice that the unregistered right has been expropriated, together with a copy of the notice of expropriation served on the expropriated owner in terms of section 8(1). (3) The notice contemplated in subsection (2) must— (a) inform the expropriated holder of a right of the date on which the right to possession of the expropriated property passed to the expropriating authority in terms of section 9(2) or (4); (b) contain a statement contemplated in section 8(3)(f), if applicable; and (c) except if this information was furnished in terms of section 10(1), request the expropriated holder of a right to deliver to the expropriating authority, within 20 days of receipt of the notice, subject to section 23, a copy of any written instrument in their possession or under their control which evidences the unregistered right. (4) When a notice in terms of subsection (2) has been served on the expropriated holder of a right concerned, this Act applies with the changes required by the context as if such notice were a notice of expropriation in terms of section 8(1) in respect of such unregistered right, but if that expropriated holder of a right is a lessee, he or she remains liable to pay rental to the expropriated owner until the right to possession passes in terms of section 9(2) or (4) and, if applicable, thereafter to the expropriating authority. (5) If the expropriated owner or expropriated holder of a right knew of the existence of an unregistered right contemplated in subsection (2) and failed to inform the expropriating authority of the existence thereof, the expropriated owner or expropriated holder of a right, as the case may be, is liable to the expropriating authority for any loss incurred in the event of the expropriating authority having to pay compensation for the expropriation of the unregistered right after the date of payment of compensation to the expropriated owner or expropriated holder of a right, as the case may be. 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 26 This gazette is also available free online at www.gpwonline.co.za STAATSKOERANT, 24 JANuARiE 2025 No. 51964 27 nomoro 13 ya 2024Molao Wa Go Tsea Dithoto, 2024 (5)(a) Bolaodi bja go tšea dithoto bo swanetše go tšea sephetho ka ga kleime ye e hlalošitšwego ka go karolwana ya (1) mo matšatšing a 20 ka morago ga go fela ga nako yeo go bolelwago ka yona ka go karolwana ya (4) gomme bo tsebiše motho yo a dirilego kleime ka ga sephetho sa bjona ka ka lengwalo.

(1) The amount of compensation must be just and equitable reflecting an equitable balance between the public interest, the interests of those affected, including an owner, holder of a right a morgagee, having regard to all relevant circumstances, including— (a) the current use of the property; (b) the history of the acquisition and use of the property; (c) the market value of the property; (d) the extent of direct state investment and subsidy in the acquisition and beneficial capital improvement of the property; and (e) the purpose of the expropriation. (2) In determining the amount of compensation to be paid in terms of this Act, the expropriating authority must not, unless there are special circumstances in which it would be just and equitable to do so, take account of— (a) the fact that the property has been taken without the consent of the owner or holder of a right; (b) the special suitability or usefulness of the property for the purpose for which it is required by the expropriating authority, if it is unlikely that the property would have been purchased for that purpose in the open market; (c) any enhancement in the value of the property, if such enhancement is a consequence of the use of the property in a manner which is unlawful; (d) improvements made to the property in question after the date on which the notice of expropriation was served upon the expropriated owner or expropri- ated holder, as the case may be, except where the improvements were agreed to in advance by the expropriating authority or where they were undertaken in pursuance of obligations entered into before the date of expropriation; (e) anything done with the object of obtaining compensation therefor; and (f) any enhancement or depreciation, before or after the date of service of the notice of expropriation, in the value of the property in question, which can be directly attributed to the purpose in connection with which the property was expropriated. (3) It may be just and equitable for nil compensation to be paid where land is expropriated in the public interest, having regard to all relevant circumstances, including but not limited to— (a) where the land is not being used and the owner’s main purpose is not to develop the land or use it to generate income, but to benefit from appreciation of its market value; (b) where an organ of state holds land that it is not using for its core functions and is not reasonably likely to require the land for its future activities in that regard, and the organ of state acquired the land for no consideration; (c) notwithstanding registration of ownership in terms of the Deeds Registries Act, 1937 (Act No. 47 of 1937), where an owner has abandoned the land by failing to exercise control over it despite being reasonably capable of doing so; (d) where the market value of the land is equivalent to, or less than, the present value of direct state investment or subsidy in the acquisition and beneficial capital improvement of the land. (4) When a court or arbitrator determines the amount of compensation in terms of section 23 of the Land Reform (Labour Tenants) Act, 1996 (Act No. 3 of 1996), it may be just and equitable for nil compensation to be paid, having regard to all relevant circumstances. (5) If the property is land, the expropriating authority must consider the amount of outstanding municipal property rates, taxes, levies and charges relating to the property when making an offer of just and equitable compensation. 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 28 This gazette is also available free online at www.gpwonline.co.za STAATSKOERANT, 24 JANuARiE 2025 No. 51964 29 nomoro 13 ya 2024Molao Wa Go Tsea Dithoto, 2024 KGAOLO YA 5 TEFO YA GO TŠEWA GA DITHOTO Tekanyo ya boleng bja tefo 12.
