Lack of implementation of Court Orders There have been a number of significant wins towards the right to Nationality in South African courts in recent years. However it can take years for Department of Home Affairs to implement court orders, if ever. Chombo v Minister of Home Affairs (28 November 2018) LHR received a court order declaring Mary a citizen by birth and that the blockage of her ID must be lifted. Further, the court ordered that her 4 children must be registered and issued with IDs. Only Daniel, the eldest received his ID in 2020. Two years following the court order, his 3 siblings remain without ID documents DGLR v Minister of Home Affairs ( 2015) DHA was ordered to publish draft Regulations for section 2(2) applications. Thisi has not been done to date .
