The new British citizenship solution, known as the British Citizenship by Double Descent (UKM CBR pre1983), is giving locals with British ties and wanting to live in the UK, renewed hope of obtaining British nationality through their parents and or grandparents.
Sable International, a professional consultancy agency, says changes in British citizenship case law are enabling further claims to British nationality, based on having a grandparent (and, in rare cases, a great grandparent) born in the UK.
If you were born in South Africa between May 31, 1962 and January 1, 1983, your mother was British, not through being born in the UK (perhaps because her father was born in the UK) you may have a claim to British citizenship now.
However, Sable warns that there will be those who meet the criteria above who will not qualify.
