In a white paper on emigration, frightening but well known facts have emerged. The director of EOSA (Enterprise Observatory of SA) Johannes Wessels explains the following facts:
For every professional who immigrated to SA, eight professionals have left the country for better destinations.

The same trend continued between 2004 and 2018, meaning that at least 250,000 white professionals left the country.
The ‘land theft’ issue is currently driving more professional and non professionals to emigrate.
