What the ANC is trying to do is make it legal to bypass the courts. At present, every instance of expropriation would have an individual court case to make each one legal, one by one. Court cases could drag on for months or even years.
The ANC proposal itself may have to be approved by the court to become legal, but if this happens they can take any property they want - with immediate effect.
It will be legal for them to do this, and therefore no court action would be needed. The ANC will be sure to have judge's that are on the Payroll, so it could be a formality as they will decide the judge.
@Draad, when this has happened in other places in the world, it has been a civil war. However civil wars usually have more people on each side. People may have to claim asylum in other countries. However, I expect the ANC will start with the richest people first- e.g. landowners of farms, or buildings within the cities and towns. Upperclass first as they have the most assets, and once that is won- the middle class over time.

The ANC could also use this to destroy any current or future political competition. For example, the ANC could take ownership of the Democratic Party property or any other new political party.
