Good News For South Africans Who Lost Their Citizenship – Details

Good News For South Africans Who Lost Their Citizenship – Details

A recent ruling by the Supreme Court in South Africa has brought good news for South African citizens who involuntarily lost their citizenship when obtaining the nationality of another country. The court has determined that individuals who acquired foreign nationalities cannot be stripped of their South African citizenship.

South Africans have a history of migration, with many seeking better living conditions, safety, and employment opportunities in other countries. Despite living abroad, numerous South African expats still identify strongly with their home country and desire to retain their South African nationality.



However, under Section 6(1)(a) of the South African Citizenship Act, many South Africans automatically lost their citizenship when acquiring the nationality of another country, unless they obtained permission from the South African Ministry of Home Affairs. This provision was originally implemented during the apartheid era to deny exiled freedom fighters and Bantustan residents their South African citizenship.

The Democratic Alliance, a political party in South Africa, challenged the constitutional validity of Section 6(1)(a) of the Citizenship Act. After the High Court in Pretoria dismissed their initial challenge, the matter was brought before the Supreme Court of Appeal, which has now declared the section unconstitutional and invalid.This ruling has significant implications for South African expats who were unaware of the requirement to obtain permission before acquiring another nationality. It opens up the possibility for these individuals to reclaim their South African citizenship, which they may have inadvertently lost while acquiring the nationality of another country.


 

The decision of the Supreme Court paves the way for many South African expats to regain their birthright and maintain their ties to their home country. It recognizes the importance of South African citizenship to those who have left the country and offers them the opportunity to reconnect with their heritage.
