As a foreigner who lived in South Africa before, I think South Africa has the right to have their own laws and people should respect them. Citizenship by birth to non-native parents doesn't make sense. That's how identity is lost. My country also would recognize you as an alien if none of your parents are not native to the land of birth. Yes South Africans can be xenophobic but please let them exercise their laws. A paper doesn't make you a native, blood does.

The nationality of an individual cannot change or be denounced. Citizenship can be acquired, updated, changed, or renounced through legal formalities. eg Tendai Mtawarira,Strive Masiyiwa,Billy rauchenpat,charlize theron,elon mask. South africa has its own legal pathways to citizenship.

[@thandisilec835]

Some countries don’t accept dual citizenship, so denouncing your current citizenship is required before they grant you citizenship. Eg Japan doesn’t give second citizenship…I’ve watched KZbin videos of 1or 2 Americans who chose to denounce their American citizenship in order to become Japanese citizens…they also wanted to avoid paying American taxes as they’d been living in Japan for decades and American IRS will make you file annually& pay tax to them even if you choose to stay in another country for decades…only way is to denounce US citizenship to stop paying tax there. Anyway Japan doesn’t hand out citizenship to any foreigners(white, Asian, Black, or whatever…) like they are desperate to collect strays…they do though give citizenship based on mother or father being a Japanese citizenship, granted you don’t have any other citizenship (remember can’t be Japanese citizen & citizen of another country…pick one)

The mother is Zulu form kzn where would she find it tell me where to buy it if it’s being sold

So this thing comes from a long way, how did the mother get the citizenship if she’s a Mozambican born in SA? Secondly so for someone to be a SA citizen, one of his/her parents must be SAn citizen and the person(child) must be born in SA?

[@franmdleleni6520]

For one to be a SA citizen, one of the parents has to be a SA citizen but the child doesn't have to be born in SA. Eg, if you are a SA citizen and you move out of SA, then get a child outside there, your child is entitled to a SA citizenship by birth because of you, if he so wishes. Before 1995, the child would claim SA citizenship by descent but they now changed to by birth.

[@MNJ_Agri]

@@franmdleleni6520 ohhh so even if the mother’s parents are Mozambican, if she was born in SA before 1995 she’s a SAn citizen 🫢

[@franmdleleni6520]

@@MNJ_Agri I have a feeling that the mother or the mother's parents had acquired SA citizenship, may be by naturalisation. There is no way SA can grant citizenship if both parents are not SA citizens. One has to be. And even if you as a SA citizen went out of the country. Got into a relationship out there and have a child. That child when claiming SA citizenship has to prove that you as the parent is a real SA citizen. They check your records before they grant your child citizenship. I know someone who went thru the process.

[@SingleseasonPodcast]

Her mom surely got citizenship before 1995. Her mum is a South African citizen. So, the lady is a South African through her mum.

So many issues about citizenship where not touched on🙄🙄. After 1994,gou could acquire citizenship by producing a baptism certificate from a church in Sa😹. Acquire citizenship by producing a school attendance letter. Citizenship if you had relatives bearing the same surname as yours but are South Africans🙄🙄 not to mention citizenship that was easly bought from officials. If you could prove your 10yrs stay in South Africa, you also could apply for citizenship. But then came 2002😂 things changed to what citizenship is now. For me, I put the blame on the system then and corrupt officials. Soutj Africa is a porous country and we have ourselves to blame😅😅. This Miss South Africa parents might have fallen under this categories I've mentioned,

[@kateturner1849]

What about marriage? Many Zimbabwe and Nigerians marry local women for citizenship. What are the rules on that, considering its very common here?

[@anticorrup-g5o]

You don't even need to marry, you just go pay corrupt Home Affairs, and you sorted.

[@hey_kudisco_podcast]

You don’t qualify for citizenship if you marry a local, just permanent residency or a spousal visa. You need to wait like 10 years to qualify to be a citizen by marriage.

[@NgolaNalane]

They get permanent residency after several year of marriage. Then after several years of marriage they can apply to be citizens

If it's the case that you must be a citizen of SA by blood, automatically SA citizenship will be granted only to 1 tribe that was residing in SA before the colonialist came to SA, and they should be only 1 language speaking for the first tribe that was already in SA before others tribes came in...it means others tribes in SA are also foreign nationals settling in SA by coming from neighbouring countries...

[@flitslig]

Now Mr Minister please check how nearly every barbershop owner, every cell phone repairshop owner, every taylor shop belings to somebody from Pakistan or Egypt or Algeria or Morroco some that can hardly speak English but some even have SA documents with local names?

My mother was born in South Africa to a South African mother (whose parents, forefathers were also South Africans) & Malawian father(they were never married). The department of Home Affairs refuses to acknowledge her as South African. The family has tried to have DNA tests on her & her surviving sibling but Home Affairs refused to sign those documents as if the money will come from their coffers. So the deputy minister may have spoken well, however it is stuff they don't practice.
