@propertyzz_com In between playing golf ⛳️ on Thursday and finishing x2 seasons of Last One Laughing #LOLUK I studied the #PIE Amendment Bill 2026.

@The_DHS published it in @GovernmentZA gazette 54521

So what is in it? And why should you even care? [1/12]

[RealEstate Pro | Ebo Quagraine @RealEstateProZA]

So should you care?

DEFINITELY

If you own a unit in a complex, estate or apartment block.

If you’re a landlord with inner city property, this Bill is the one you MUST contribute to

The public comment window closes mid-June. That is not far. Comment or risk eternity litigating

Clause 6 deals with state organs like municipalities.
Where a municipality owns the land, mediation is now MANDATORY before proceedings can move.

The word shift from “may” to “MUST” is ENORMOUS

Within what time frames must this happen? Your opinion is vital to skip undue stress

Clause 3 introduces mandatory joinders

Every eviction application must now notify the municipality AND the provincial Human Settlements department

Both MUST join the proceedings.

In practice, more parties = more legal costs + more time.

Can you imagine the financial burden?

The Bill says alternative accommodation can be ordered from “the owner”

So ordinary middle-class homeowners could be ordered to house the person who invaded their land?

The Bill is silent on this. Yet, a reason to submit comments before this passes as Law.#PIEAmendmentBill2026

[RealEstate Pro | Ebo Quagraine @RealEstateProZA]

Back to that “owner” problem in Clause 1.

In community schemes such as estates and bodies corporate, the common property is owned by the collective of owners. [8/12 part 1] #PIEAmendmentBill2026

Here’s perhaps the most significant clause for landlords to note;

If the court determines someone is genuinely an unlawful occupier, occupying in bad faith, It MAY grant eviction WITHOUT requiring the municipality to provide alternative accommodation [7/12]#PIEAmendmentBill2026

Clause 3 amends Section 4 of PIE — the section that governs how evictions are granted.

Courts must now consider elderly residents, children, disabled persons and women-headed households before granting ANY eviction order.

And here’s the part most people may miss.
Asset forfeiture is shifted from “may” to “MUST.”
If you made money organising illegal occupations — the court MUST order it returned to victims.
Building hijacking has a financial model. This clause attacks that model directly. [5/12]

[RealEstate Pro | Ebo Quagraine @RealEstateProZA]

Clause 2 goes after the organisers of illegal occupations.
Not just persons collecting rent in a hijacked building BUT, persons who coordinate land invasion; even if they never set foot inside or earn from it.
That is now a criminal offence. R2 million fine. 2 years imprisonment.

Clause 1 rewrites the definitions.

The BiG one:

“alternative accommodation” is now formally defined for the first time.

And the word “owner” is explicitly included as a potential provider.

More on why that’s a problem — in a moment. [3/12] #PIEAmendmentBill2026

Firstly, what is the PIE Act?

It’s the law that governs how and when someone can be evicted from land or a building in South Africa.

It’s been around since 1998.

And it hasn’t been meaningfully updated since.

BUT with your input, it soon will. [2/12] #PIEAmendmentBill2026

In as much as this judgement was granted. Body Corporates must still not disconnect any utilities WITHOUT AN ACTUAL COURT ORDER, for such actions remain an act spoliation.
