The SCA ruled that legislation, which led to the loss of SA citizenship when acquiring other citizenship, was irrational and unconstitutional. | Cebo_Bhengu
The DA challenged the constitutionality of section 6 of the South African Citizenship Act 88 of 1995 on behalf of South Africans who unknowingly lost their citizenship after acquiring second citizenship in other countries.
The DA said that, in 2015, the South African embassy informed Plaatjes that he had lost his citizenship when he went to renew his passport. The party said he was one of many citizens who, unknowingly, lost their citizenship after acquiring a second nationality. Zondi ruled that section of the Act was no longer valid and he did not impose a suspension of his order.
