South Africans applying for citizenship in a second country may loss their South African citizenship.
Many South Africans are being stripped of their South African citizenship when they voluntarily obtain citizenship in a second country., said many thousands of South Africans are having their citizenship stripped, with many, if not most, not knowing.
South Africans must apply to the Minister of Home Affairs for permission to retain their South African citizenship as per the Citizenship Act. The Minister may thus grant or deny permission at their own discretion. Moore said that the provision is a flagrant violation of South Africa’s Constitution.
In addition, the applicants shared results from an online survey that showed many South Africans lost their citizenship due to being unaware of Section 6, many of whom did not intend to forego their South African citizenship.
