SA's extradition treaties generally make provision for the extradition of nationals under the following circumstances:
1. If the offense for which the individual is being extradited is also considered a crime in both countries and meets the criteria in the extradition treaty.
2. If the offense is of a serious nature and involves crimes such as murder, terrorism, drug trafficking, or organized crime.
3. If the individual has committed a serious offense in the requesting country and is a national or resident of that country.
4. If the individual has been convicted of a crime in the requesting country and is seeking to be extradited back to that country to serve their sentence.
5. If the individual has committed a crime in the requesting country and fled to South Africa in an attempt to evade justice.
It is important to note that extradition treaties vary from country to country, and the specific provisions for the extradition of nationals may differ based on the terms of the treaty between South Africa and the requesting country.
