| Comments | Citizenship Amendment Act 17 of 2010 - interpretation of s4(3) of the Act - section does not have a retrospective effect - respondents satisfy the requirements of citizenship by naturalisation - failure of the Minister to promulgate regulations for applications for citizenship in terms of s 23 of the Act - the order of the high court directing the Minister to accept applications on affidavits does not encroach upon the doctrine of separation of powers |
