Conclusion
In conclusion, the National Inquiry established that a significant number of people were not documented and this
lack of documentation adversely impacted on the enjoyment of their human rights. Generations of people without
documentation have been created and many more have been left stateless or at the risk of statelessness. The
Report covers numerous testimonies of witness experiences on challenges they have faced in accessing
documentation and how this has affected their enjoyment of fundamental human rights and freedoms.
The conclusion provides the necessary follow up steps that will be required to monitor implementation of
recommendations so that access to documentation is enhanced.
The conclusion further outlines some recent developments and good practices which were noted during the
National Inquiry process such as the approval by Cabinet of a Bill on the Citizenship Act, the introduction of regular
mobile registration in some Provinces and the response of the Department of the Registrar General to Cyclone
Idai.
