Motsoaledi clarifies Senkubuge's SA citizenship via SABCNewsOnline
“And because of the widespread interest in the matter, we went to retrieve the file in our archives which gives information about Ms Senkubuge from as far back as 36 years ago in 1983, which shows that his parents entered the former Transkei from Uganda to work for the Department of Education. She was born a year later in the former Transkei in 1984. The parents were given appropriate documents as it pertains in the former Transkei according to the laws that were applicable then.
Senkubuge only became a naturalised South African citizen in 2018. Motsoaledi explains: “I know the DA has thrown it to the IEC and say they must tell us how the person voted. The answer is simple. She’s on the voters roll. And as far is that the IEC is exempted.
In the meantime, the ANC has threatened to go to court after attempts to unseat the controversial mayor through a motion of no confidence failed to materialise on Thursday last week. The party also wants the Hawks to investigate the Senkubuge citizenship saga.
