In order to build infrastructure such as new bus and train stations across planned new routes for the Gautrain network in Gauteng, some areas around Little Falls and Randburg will be expropriated with compensation by the government.
This was confirmed in a draft document by Gauteng provincial government.
“In the event where a property is identified for expropriation, after the undertaking of the Route Determination, Preliminary Design, and Proclamation processes, the expropriating authority must serve a notice of intention to expropriate property,” it read.
“Amongst a few other things, the notice of intention to expropriate includes an offer of compensation with supporting information as to the manner in which the amount was calculated, based on supporting information and in accordance with Section 12 of the Expropriation Act, 2024.”
As we watch the American markets collapse in real time, wiping out trillions of dollars and as the world teeters on a possible recession thanks to planet-wide tarrifs from the Donald Trump administration, several other projects are now being affected as the hikes strangle global cooperation efforts.
One of which is the potential sale of TikTok.
The other is US pre-orders for the new Nintendo Switch 2.
