Is Racism In South Africa Behind The Increased Immigration To Canada?

Prior to the advent of democracy in South Africa in 1994 the exodus of white South Africans to other countries was known as the Chicken Run. With the new democracy only twelve years old a new exodus is evident and is now being captioned as the Brain Drain.

Whatever the caption might be, surveys published in the press (Sunday Times of 20 th August 2006) show that top academics and scientists are leaving South Africa supposedly for better salaries, better work opportunities and to gain further experience abroad. Furthermore, over 5,000 former South African teachers are currently employed in the UK alone when there is a shortage of teaching staff back home,

Is this a genuine brain drain or is there an underlying reason? What has emerged during the honeymoon years of the new democracy is the perception that the serious crime rate has increased, that fraud is prevalent, that vehicle hijackings are everyday occurrences, that some state officials are riding the gravy train and that affirmative action is racism in disguise.
