Please note! This FaceBook Page has been set up to raise awareness of the AUTOMATIC LOSS of citizenship that is being enforced by Home Affairs. Read this carefully as we cannot answer questions relating individual circumstances / situations. About: Please be advised that this should not be construed as legal advice as each individual case is unique and should be assessed on its specific merits. Description: Through Facebook we are trying to get clarification and if necessary changes made. If you’re a South African that has IMMIGRATED and acquired foreign citizenship by means of a voluntary and formal act WITHOUT having applied for and been granted permission for Dual Citizenship by SA Dept. of Home Affairs PRIOR to acquiring the foreign citizenship, then you are no longer a citizen of SA. The South African Citizenship Act provides for retention of South African citizenship PRIOR to the acquisition of a foreign citizenship, not after! A condition for voluntarily and formally acquiring foreign citizenship for all South African citizens aged 18 years or older is that they must apply for and be granted permission to retain their South African citizenship PRIOR to the acquisition of a foreign citizenship. If you do not fall into this category then this does not affect you. This is what the current laws state, quoted from Dept. Home Affairs website: Quote… “Automatic loss of citizenship: Unless you have been granted retention of your South African citizenship prior to acquiring another citizenship, you will lose your South African citizenship automatically if you are 18 years and older and have obtained the citizenship of another country by a voluntary and formal act, other than marriage, or are serving in the armed forces of another country (where you are also a citizen) and that country is at war with South Africa”. unquote Never say that you’ll never want to return to SA, it’s your birth right and life has too many twists and turns to say never! Act now and get as many people as you can to follow this Facebook page, we need lots of support.
