South African Chamber for Agricultural Development in Africa

Last updated

The South African Chamber for Agricultural Development in Africa (SACADA) is a South African non-governmental organisation founded in 1995 with the support of President Nelson Mandela to stimulate the regional economy. [1] One of the main tasks of SACADA was to improve export-oriented plantations. In 1996 it started to settle many farmers in Mozambique creating a joint venture called "SMD" with the Mozambicans. According to the president of the organization, Dries Bruwer, the successes of the project in Mozambique has resulted in twenty other African countries asking SACADA to carry on similar programs in their countries. [2] The organization has been criticized by Michel Chossudovsky because of practices which, he says, destroy small farmers in the lands where SACADA works. [3]

Naturalization Process by which a non-citizen in a country may acquire citizenship or nationality of that country

Naturalization is the legal act or process by which a non-citizen of a country may acquire citizenship or nationality of that country. It may be done automatically by a statute, i.e., without any effort on the part of the individual, or it may involve an application or a motion and approval by legal authorities. The rules of naturalization vary from country to country but typically include a promise to obey and uphold that country's laws and taking and subscribing to an oath of allegiance, and may specify other requirements such as a minimum legal residency and adequate knowledge of the national dominant language or culture. To counter multiple citizenship, some countries require that applicants for naturalization renounce any other citizenship that they currently hold, but whether this renunciation actually causes loss of original citizenship, as seen by the host country and by the original country, will depend on the laws of the countries involved.
