The short answer
Yes, but you need to get a South African birth certificate first.

The whole question
I was born to a Botswana mother and a South African father (deceased). My birth was not registered in South Africa but I hold a Botswana birth certificate that has my father's name on. Do I qualify for South African citizenship?

The long answer
This is what the law says:
A child born outside South Africa and of which at least one of the parents was a South African citizen at the time of the child's birth has a claim to South African citizenship by descent. The child's birth must, however, be registered in South Africa for the child to acquire South African citizenship.

Where a child is born to one (1) or more South African citizen parent/s but such child’s birth is never registered in accordance with the Births and Deaths Registration Act, the process that such child would need to go through in order to become a South African citizen is known as the late registration of birth process.

So, you would qualify for citizenship once you had got through the hurdle of late registration
(Of course, you will not have a valid South African ID to submit as you are going through the whole LRB process to fulfil the condition of having your birth registered here in order to qualify for citizenship by descent.)

As your South African parent is deceased, Home Affairs (DHA) would probably start off by investigating your status to check that you do have a right to South African citizenship. You would need to have your father’s South African ID to prove that he was South African and a certified copy of your Botswana birth certificate.

Once you have got the LRB done, you will need to submit documents to Home Affairs to apply for South African citizenship by descent:
But unfortunately, the LRB process is a very long-drawn-out difficult business and there is a substantial backlog of people waiting for their LRB interviews

If you have applied to have your undesirability status uplifted in South Africa and have not received an outcome after a reasonable amount of time, here are steps you can take to follow up and resolve the situation:

1. Understand the Process
• The application to uplift an undesirability status is typically submitted to the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) and can take several weeks to months for processing.
• Processing times can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the workload of the DHA.

2. Check Application Status
• If you submitted your application through VFS Global, you may be able to check the status of your application on their website using your application reference number.
• If you submitted the application directly to the DHA, you can inquire in person at the relevant DHA office or contact their call center.

3. Contact the Department of Home Affairs
• Reach out to the DHA via their contact center or customer service lines to inquire about the status of your application. Have your reference number handy for easier tracking.
• Consider writing a formal letter or email to the DHA, including your details and application reference number, requesting an update on your status.

4. Visit the DHA Office
• If you are in South Africa, consider visiting the DHA office where you submitted your application to inquire in person. Bring along any relevant documents, including proof of submission, for reference.

5. Seek Assistance from an Immigration Consultant or Lawyer
• If you have not received any response after multiple inquiries, it may be beneficial to consult an immigration lawyer or consultant who specializes in immigration matters in South Africa. They can help:
o Assess your situation and guide you on the next steps.
o Contact the DHA on your behalf to expedite the process.
o Review your application to ensure everything is in order.

6. Consider Filing a Formal Complaint
• If you feel that your application is being unduly delayed, you may consider filing a formal complaint with the Department of Home Affairs regarding the lack of response.
• Provide all relevant details and documentation to support your case.

7. Be Patient but Proactive
• The review and decision-making process can sometimes take longer than expected due to administrative delays. While it’s essential to be proactive in following up, it’s also crucial to remain patient as the DHA processes your request.

8. Keep Records
• Maintain thorough records of all communications with the DHA, including dates, names of individuals spoken to, and any written correspondence. This documentation may be useful if further action is required.

9. Consider Alternative Options
• If your application to uplift undesirability is not resolved in a timely manner, discuss with your immigration consultant or lawyer about any alternative options available to you, including reapplication or appealing any decision if necessary.

Conclusion
If you have applied to uplift your undesirability status and have not received a response, start by checking the status of your application through VFS Global or the DHA directly. Reach out to the DHA for updates, and consider consulting with an immigration expert if the delay persists. Document all your communications and stay proactive in resolving the issue.

A South African work Visa / Permit offers foreign nationals the opportunity to live and work in the country for an extended period, with a potential pathway to permanent residence. South Africa, with its dynamic economy and unique job market, relies on highly skilled foreign nationals to fill critical skills gaps and contribute to upskilling the local workforce. This makes the country an attractive destination for professionals with expertise in various fields.

Who qualifies for a South African work Visa / Permit ?
The work Visa / Permit is intended for foreign nationals seeking long-term employment in South Africa. It also applies to individuals who have already worked in the country for five consecutive years and now wish to apply for permanent residency based on their employment. However, it is important to note that intra-company transfer visas do not qualify for this pathway. To pursue permanent residence, you would need to switch to either a general work visa or a critical skills visa and hold it for five consecutive years.

How to apply for a work Visa / Permit ?
To qualify, you must have accumulated five years of temporary work visas, including general or critical skills visas. The application process, while thorough, ensures that those who meet the requirements are rarely turned down.

Required documentation:
• A valid passport showing all previous and current work visas
• A signed employment contract from your employer
• Salary benchmarking from the Department of Labour
• Certification from a chartered accountant, particularly for those in permanent employment

Changes to previous Visa / Permits:
The Quota Work Visa / Permit and Exceptional Skills Visa / Permit were discontinued under the Immigration Amendment Act of 2014, replaced by the Critical Skills Visa, which continues to provide a path to permanent residency for foreign professionals.

Advantages of a South African work Visa / Permit:
• No need to reapply for a work visa once permanent residence is granted
• Formal qualifications are not always required, though they can strengthen your application
