South African Citizenship – A New Era for Dual Citizens

On 6 May 20025, the South African Constitutional Court ruled Section 6(2) of the South African Citizenship Act (Act No. 88 of 1995) unconstitutional.

What Does This Mean?
Previously, South Africans who acquired another nationality without first applying for a Certificate of Retention automatically lost their South African citizenship. This is no longer the case.
