A South African who wants to obtain the citizenship of another country has to apply to the Department of Home Affairs to retain his or her South African citizenship before acquiring that of the other country. Dual nationality or citizenship means that the person is regarded a citizen of both countries.’ – South African Government Services.
Many South Africans, who have at some point taken on another citizenship, have to their shock and dismay, learnt that their South African citizenship has been revoked. Due to a lack of understanding why this has happened, it has caused a great deal of anxiety and confusion for many South Africans.
