'Without legal guardians, foundlings can't apply for citizenship'

Foundlings who are under 18 are not able to apply for citizenship if they do not have a legal or de facto guardian.

As such, changing the law to take away automatic citizenship for foundlings will put more foundlings in jeopardy of being stateless, said Development of Human Resources for Rural Areas (DHRRA) director for social protection, Maalino Ramalo.
