Loading player...
The Department of Human Settlements will commence with public
information sessions on the draft Prevention of Illegal Eviction and
Unlawful Occupation of Land Amendment Bill on Wednesday, 06 May
2026. The first Gauteng session will be held in the City of Tshwane,
followed by sessions in the Cities of Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni
scheduled for 21 and 22 May 2026 respectively.
This follows the recent release of the PIE Amendment Bill for public
comment by Minister Simelane. The proposed amendments seek to
revise the Prevention of Illegal Eviction from and Unlawful Occupation
of Land Act of 1998, a key piece of legislation originally enacted to
prevent arbitrary evictions and to address historical injustices linked to

forced removals without due legal process.
The Bill aims to strengthen the legal and policy framework relating to
land invasions and informal settlements, while also addressing the
provision of adequate housing to reduce unlawful occupation of private
property. It further focuses on improving court processes, the
enforcement of eviction orders, and the protection of vulnerable groups
affected by eviction-related matters.
The public participation process is intended to ensure broader
stakeholder engagement on these proposed changes, particularly given
their potential impact on housing rights, land management, and urban
development across South Africa.
