South African Citizens who have already acquired their Citizenship of another country and wish to resume their South African Citizenship – foreign Citizenship acquired after October 1995
The South African Citizenship Act of 1995 which applies to all applicants who acquired their foreign citizenship after October 1995, differs only slightly from the 1949 Act mentioned above.
According to the regulations governing the acquisition of citizenship, those who fall under the post-1995 legislative framework must adhere to specific procedural requirements if they wish to formally resume their status as South African citizens.
