[South Africa] Supreme Court of Appeal strikes down Section 6(1)(a) of South African Citizenship Act; Orders for restoration of Citizenship in absence of no express provision of dual citizenship
“Citizenship is the gateway through which a number of rights under the Constitution can be accessed. It enables a person to enjoy freedom of movement, freedom of trade and political representation. While it is true that certain rights in our Constitution adheres to South African citizens only, this court has repeatedly affirmed that arbitrary and irrational distinctions between citizens and non-citizens are inconsistent with the Constitution.”
