39 noted that allowing persons to become citizens of Namibia without requiring them to formally reject foreign citizenship could mean that the door would be opened certain persons with foreign citizenship to join the Namibian Defence Force and even gather and pass intelligence to enemy forces. The court also observed that if persons that held foreign citizenship did not renounce it before being granted Namibian citizenship by naturalisation, they could be elected as Members of the National Assembly or National Councils, Regional Councils and Local Authority Councils wherein they could fail to put the interests of Namibia and her people first and they could be compromised by loyalty to a foreign State. The court also noted that security concerns for a dual citizen could arise in the field of employment. Therefore, the court concluded that such security considerations meant that those that sought to gain Namibian citizenship by naturalisation had to renounce their foreign citizenship.
