Hi There,

Both my Grandfather and Grandmother were both Germans who immigrated to South Africa, in the early 1900. My father was born in 1925 in South Africa. Is it possible that I can apply for citazinship - I was born in South Africa in 1968.

Highly unlikely... few countries continue to practice such old policies due to too many people exploiting them over recent years.

I would contact the German Embassy in South Africa and ask them.

Right of ascendency from your grandparents does not get you a German passport. Your mother or father would have had to be born In Germany for you to get a german Passport.
