May 16, 2025

The Court said citizenship is a deep, protected right that cannot be lost without fair treatment. This decision brought relief to many South Africans living abroad, assuring them that having another nationality won’t erase their connection to home. It showed that belonging to a nation is about more than papers—it’s about identity, dignity, and being part of a shared story.
