DEEDS REGISTRIES AMENDMENT BILL PROCESS TAKES SUDDEN LEAP FORWARD
- 05 December 2023
- Agriculture, Land Reform & Rural Development
- SA Legal Academy
Parliament has published a backdated media statement announcing the National Assembly Agriculture, Land Reform & Rural Development Committee’s intention to immediately finalise a Deeds Registries Amendment Bill tabled in November 2022. Members were briefed on its contents in May 2023 and have since discussed the Bill twice. On all three occasions, it has been one of two pieces of legislation considered. The other was the Plant Health (Phytosanitary) Bill, which was tabled in 2021 and is now being fast tracked.
No calls for submissions have been made and no parliamentary hearings held.
Among other things the Deeds Registries Amendment Bill:
- further provides for ‘the registration of waivers of preference in respect of registered real rights in favour of leases’
- ‘further’ regulates the registration of state land
- empowers the Minister to ‘make regulations in respect of the collection of personal information relating to race, gender, citizenship and nationality for statistical and land audit purposes’, and
- provides for penalties in respect of:
- mala fide acts or omissions by a registrar or official in relation to their duties’ as well as any ‘other persons’ found to be ‘part of a collusion’, and
- ‘the unauthorised preparation, execution and attestation of deeds and documents’.
