The proposed Land Use Management Bill was weighed in Gauteng, found wanting and could not pass the constitutionality test. According to Solidarity’s Institute for Constitutional and Labour Law Studies, this is the reason for the withdrawal of this Bill. In July the Institute made a presentation to the parliamentarian Portfolio Committee on Agriculture and Land Affairs and delivered strong criticism against the proposed Bill, because of the unconstitutionality thereof.

Meanwhile Kruger, who also opposed the Expropriation Bill, says that the Institute in Gauteng will continue with its efforts to address unconstitutional issues to see to it that the principles of a free and fair South Africa are carried through.
