HOME AFFAIRS DECLINES TO REVEAL MPs’ DUAL CITIZENSHIP STATUS
Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber has declined to reveal how many Members of Parliament hold dual citizenship or became South African citizens through naturalisation.
The information was requested by African Transformation Movement leader Vuyo Zungula, who asked the Department of Home Affairs to disclose how many MPs either hold citizenship of another country or were not born in South Africa.
In its response, the department said it was unable to provide the information.
The matter has since sparked debate around transparency and accountability, with some questioning whether the citizenship status of elected public representatives should be made public.
