An article in South Africa’s The Times Newspaper has focussed on the increasing numbers of skilled South Africans leaving the country, the vast majority of them to Australia. Emigration consultants and removals firms are experiencing record numbers of enquiries, with one company estimating a 500%-600% increase in enquiries since this time last year.
Political stresses, power outages and crime are the driving forces behind the exodus.
Australia has serious skills shortages which South Africans are looking to fill, particularly in the mining and labour industries. If you are interested in creating a new life in Australia, take a look at www.workingin-australia.com for all sorts of information, such as where to live, how to transfer funds, how to buy a house and lifestyle insights.
