# The Constitutional Court will today hand down its judgment in the DA’s application to safeguard and protect the citizenship of all South African citizens. The party wants an order of confirmation of the Supreme Court of Appeal ruling that a section of the Citizenship Act of 1995 is unconstitutional and invalid. This is to the extent that it leads to citizens losing their citizenship upon voluntary and formal acquisition of the citizenship of another country unless they obtain prior permission from the Home Affairs minister.
