If you own property in South Africa, the 2026 PIE Amendment Bill is something you need to understand.
South Africa's eviction framework has long required a careful balance between protecting property rights and safeguarding vulnerable occupiers. But years of procedural delays, inconsistent court outcomes, and organised land invasions have tested that balance severely.
The proposed amendments introduce some of the most significant changes to eviction law in years — including the criminalisation of organised land invasion, expanded standing for property owners, and a more structured approach to the "just and equitable" test.
Kerri Stewart of SchoemanLaw Inc explains exactly what is changing, what it means for you, and what practical steps property owners and practitioners should be taking now.
