The Department of Justice and Correctional Services has published the draft Unlawful Entering on Premises Bill for public comment.

The bill, if enacted, will fully repeal the Trespass Act, No. 6 of 1959 and establish new laws prohibiting unlawful entry on premises in South Africa.

Among other things, it provides for the offence of unlawful entry and the penalties to be imposed if a person is found to be guilty of the offence; the duty to inform an intruder of unlawful entry; the powers of the police and defences against the offence of unlawful entry.

CyrilRamaphosa GovernmentZA it's more dangerous for the homeowners now, why don't you's rather concentrate on the homeless living on the streets, parks, pavements, they burn fire's the entire day but zero happens with them, because it's your own race mphophalatse1

Implemented yet? In the old days we used to steal fruit from the neighbors or the Dominee and if caught... Hell on earth, now a days there's no punishment. Today it's dangerous for the Home owner...

Castle doctrine. Makes it simple. Paratus2014 check this heap of unadultared, fermented ministerial pig manure.

Security companies should be empowered to arrest individuals who are engaged in criminal acts. Hardly any properties allow direct access to the front door. The central planners must be bored or something.

Seems like pure bullshit! This will give unlawful occupiers excuses to stay on land as long as they say stupid shit like...our forefathers...blah blah blah
