“Migration is among the top seven global issues facing the world today, including SA,” Gauteng premier David Makhura said.

the number of

local and international migrants in the province has increased demands and competition for access to opportunities, including jobs. He said more than 47% of migrants in SA, local and international, ended up making Gauteng their home.“Forty-seven-percent of all local and international migrants end up in Gauteng. Almost half of all migrants who come into SA, wherever they are coming from. The rest end up settling as well.

Makhura said migration remains a headache for the provincial government and trying to stop it was “like stopping the sun from rising and setting”.“We must accept that migration increases demands and competition for access to jobs, economic opportunities, basic services, housing, infrastructure. The demand increases when you have migration, but migration also brings opportunities.

“Those who come often are entrepreneurial, some established businesses, vibrant businesses that employ people. Others bring skills in our economy, that's why it is a losing battle. Anyone who thinks they can stop migration in any part of the world is like stopping the sun from rising and setting. The issue is the management of migration.”

Factors that cause people to migrate are the problem. Once governments create favourable conditions for its citizens, migration would only be by choice & not out of circumstances. Corruption is the biggest issue facing the world today. Lockdowns are part of the corruption.
