After over 20 years in South Africa, Vincent and Emmanuel Tshituka, are fighting for citizenship, to become eligible for Springbok selection.
Bureaucratic procedures and a whole lot of red tape are the only things standing between Vincent and Emmanuel Tshituka and potential call-ups to the Springboks squad this year.
But there’s way more to their story and in order for them to reach their potential on the rugby field, the South African government in general, and the Department of Home Affairs in particular, need to come to the party. Fast forward to 2024, and the Tshituka brothers have managed to not only integrate perfectly into South African life, but they have become two of the most recognisable and. And yet, after 22 years in South Africa, they still officially documented as Congolese refugees, despite numerous attempts to gain citizenship.The fight with the South African government has just taken on another dimension and a new meaning now that there is more on the line than just official citizenship.
