South Africa's second biggest political party has launched a legal challenge against a new land expropriation law that was roundly criticized by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Two bills want to change South Africa’s Constitution to make room for more oversight and protections – but the Justice Department is not having it.

A legal challenge against a controversial new land seizure law at the centre of a row with US President Donald Trump has been filed by the Democratic Alliance (DA), which is part of South Africa's coalition government. The Expropriation Act allows for private land to be seized by the government without compensation in certain cases.

US President Donald Trump has claimed that South Africa's new land laws will lead to the takeover of white-owned farms. Pretoria denies the claims as "misinformation." Trump retaliated with sanctions.

Trump’s executive order cutting aid and offering refugee status to South Africa’s Afrikaner farmers has caused a stir in the African country after passage of a controversial land bill.

The party of South Africa's ex-president Jacob Zuma on Monday filed a treason complaint against AfriForum, a group championing the white Afrikaner minority, after Donald Trump attacked the country's new law aimed at redistributing white-owned land.

The world underestimated how extreme Donald Trump’s delusions of grandeur are. His authoritarian domestic actions and blatant extortion and disregard for other countries’ sovereignty as demonstrated in his first two weeks as president are still going to upend the world.
