The South African government has firmly rejected the US Department of State's report that claims a significant deterioration of human rights in the country. The report references the controversial Expropriation Bill, which allows for the legal taking of private property for public use with compensation. The South African authorities assert that this legislation is intended for public benefit. The report also alleges increased extrajudicial killings, including a high-profile case involving two women; however, the government rejects any connection to state actions. Previous claims of a genocide against Afrikaners are widely dismissed by South Africans.
The Expropriation Bill, signed into law, allows the government to take private property for public use with fair compensation and in specific instances.
Claims about rising violence and extrajudicial killings, including a bizarre incident involving murdered women and pigs, were criticized and linked unjustly to the government.
