Major Internal and External Migration Patterns in South Africa

South Africa exhibits both internal and external migration patterns. In terms of internal migration, there is a significant movement from rural areas to urban centers, driven by the search for better employment and educational opportunities. Externally, South Africa has experienced a large influx of migrants from neighboring countries such as Zimbabwe and Mozambique, seeking economic opportunities. Additionally, the country has also seen a trend of skilled professionals emigrating to developed countries in search of better prospects. These migration patterns have significant impacts on South Africa's population geography and require careful management and policy considerations.
