MALAWIANS living in Zimbabwe are continuing to benefit from the right to dual citizenship, which allows them to obtain passports from both countries in accordance with the constitutional provisions.<\/p>\n
This was highlighted by Malawi\u2019s Ambassador to Zimbabwe, General (Retired) Peter Namathanga, during a meeting with Malawian residents at a local church in Entumbane, Bulawayo, on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The gathering saw scores of Malawians engage with Ambassador Namathanga, discussing various issues affecting them, including easier access to passports, birth certificates and business opportunities.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have seen a huge uptake of Malawians living in Zimbabwe acquiring dual citizenship as allowed by our country\u2019s constitution. The law was put in place in 2021 and we encourage our people living in foreign countries, among them Zimbabwe, to apply for dual citizenship,\u201d said Ambassador Namathanga in an interview on the sidelines of the meeting.<\/p>\n
