Born Zimbabwean and lived their most of my childhood.
We then moved to SA, where I became a citizen due to narturalization(but just an excuse to get me to do National Service, which I did).
I then went overseas for a holiday, and never returned. I lived in the UK for seven years and after that moved to NZ(four years) and became a citizen there as well.
We've now been in Aus for close on three years.
I'm entitled to the following passports: British Irish South African New Zealand and soon Australian.
The one I'm not entitled to is Zimbabwean where I was born because of old Bob's policies!
Born in Canada (Ontario) Moved to England at 16 Moved to the Isle of Man at 18 Moved to Scotland (for university) Parents moved to Australia this month, leaving me confused and homeless.
One vacation to Joburg in 2007 and i'm hooked.
Moved to South Africa in December 2007 to do a postgraduate degree. Desperately looking for a South African husband so I won't have to leave when the visa expires in December 2009
Was born in Denmark and have a danish passport Married to an italian and have an italian passport Living in Switzerland and do not yet have a swiss passport only a forever lasting permit.

I'm a South African. My wife and daughter are South Africans as well and even my 2 dogs, 2 tortoises and 2 gold fish are South Africans. My wife and me are both driving German cars and most of my household goods are from China, even my boots I wear in the bush are made in China although it's designed in South Africa!!
I'm proudly stuck here in South Africa.
