Can I claim citizenship through “jus sanguis?”
My paternal grandparents emigrated to South Africa from Berlin in 1933. My father was born in 1940 in Johannesburg and never claimed German citizenship.

If your grandparents lost their citizenship due to them being Jewish (projecting this as you mentioned they left in 1933 and you are Israeli) I think you might qualify as a victim of Nazi persecution. There are specific rules regarding nationalisation in place for this group. Have a look online: https://www.germany.info/us-en/-/2370240
