2DEVELOPMENT PROBLEM AND POLICIES
Introduction
In order to accurately analyse the issue of migration and its impacts on several
different factors, it is very important to understand the meaning of this term. Migration refers
to the process through which people move from one place to another. Migration plays a
fundamental role in the process of development of both the developing as well as the already
developed countries. As stated by Crush and Peberdy (2018), “we are well into a post-
industrial, post-cold war world and about to embark on a brand new century within which
immigration will play a central role”. The process of migration of human beings is not new to
this world. People have migrated from one nation to other for various different reasons.
However, it is to state that these movements might have certain significant impact on the
African continent and this might also have negative impacts on its present development
process in that very region. The current economy, politics and the social formations of South
Africa has been shaped up by the elaborated regulations of human mobility. Right from its
foundation, majority of the South African residents, nationals and the citizens have faced
stark limitations on the issue of where they could live and own land as well as how and when
they could move their places. However, this paper shall elaborate on various factors related to
this issue of migration in South Africa based on analysing different statistics and relevant
facts. It shall also focus on the impact that this issue is currently having on the poor people,
the level of poverty, the economy and on the women and children of South Africa.
