Judgment No CCZ 5/14 7
Const. Application No CCZ 114/13
Because of the firm stance taken by Mr Pedzisai, on behalf of the second
respondent, that the applicant will be treated as an alien if he presents a South African
passport to the immigration officials upon entry into Zimbabwe, we consider that it is
necessary, in this case, to grant an order in the terms sought by the applicant.
Accordingly, the application is allowed and the following order is issued:
1. It is declared that the applicant is a citizen of Zimbabwe by birth with entitlement
to dual citizenship.
2. The second respondent is hereby ordered to endorse in the applicant’s South
African passport upon presentation thereof to him, the applicant’s right to
unrestricted and unconditional residence in Zimbabwe.
