South African businesses in a panic over emigration
Business Tech (South Africa) ^ | 8 March 2023 | Staff Writer

A new white paper from payroll services group Playroll, in partnership with tech and developer jobs marketplace OfferZen and executive recruitment firm Aims International, shows that South Africa’s skills crisis runs deeper than industry-specific shortages portray.

The group’s research found that close to 80% of all business leaders it surveyed consider the emigration of skills one of the critical risk factors facing their organisations.

This comes at a time when emigration appears to be accelerating, it said.

...

The UK has the most migrant stock from South Africa, with almost a quarter of a million residents listing RSA as their birth country. This is followed by Australia, the USA and New Zealand.

Playroll said that the problems around the emigration of critical skills run deeper than even these numbers show because, increasingly, young people are the ones leaving.

Race not mentioned. Mostly whites of course. But I expect also anyone with saleable first world skills.

They can run, but there is no place to run to anymore.

Not to worry, they will all be replaced with Chinese “technicians.” Belt&Road y’know.

Every country I travel to has emigrants from South Africa, where life is stressful and dangerous

Proof that Africa is the world’s #1 third world sh*thole and everyone who is stuck there is trying to get the hell out. Africans are all moving to capitalist countries run by WHITE PEOPLE.

Elaine: “South Africa.”

Darryl: “My family used to live there, but, uh, we got out years ago, for obvious reasons. You know how it is.”

Elaine: “Maybe.”

South Africa’s other problem is they are getting a bunch of illegals pouring in from the rest of the Continent.

Sorry, we have our quota of South Africans running social networks, building electric cars, digging holes, flying to space and generally driving the libs (more) insane.

I’m guessing the massive immigration worldwide has the same evil spiders promoting it.

Elon Musk should recruit and form his own congressional district in a purple zone.

White people with any sense, need to be getting the hell out of South Africa as soon as they can dispose of whatever property they have there.

A girl I know married a South African guy. His parents and brother are going to move to the US soon. Who can blame them?

"The group’s research found that close to 80% of all business leaders it surveyed consider the emigration of skills one of the critical risk factors facing their organisations."

Isn't that what you would expect to happen when you kill the Whites or run them out of your country?

"He dead, boss. We kilt him in da parking lot last week."

Only a matter of time before the jungle takes over, forming a canopy of invasive flora over developed areas, and two hundred years from now, explorers will discover a “lost civilization.”

Go to Perth, Australia. You’ll be surprised at the number of highly skilled, capable South African migrants ( guess their race) who have moved there.

In 2000 I met a SA couple living in the UK.
They were both college educated.
They said 80+% of the college classmate3s had left SA.

One of them had an English grandparent so that person could stay permanently in the UK.
The other did not have an English grandparent so that person had to leave after 2 years.

When they ran out of time they packed up, left the bulk of their earning in a UK bank, and traveled the world for a year and a half.

Then they returned to SA.
There was a outreach program going on to have the SA out-pats ‘return to their homeland’, that ‘there was opportunity’ awaiting them.

One got a job right away, one it took over a year to get a job in their field.

There were quota’s in job hires, and so many slots had to be filled by ‘natives’.
Who also didn’t have to work... or even sometimes show up.

Got an email from them about a year later...
They said the outreach program was a load of sh**
All they wanted of them was to bring back the money they had earned elsewhere.
At that time you could not take money you had in SA out of the country.
So, if you brought your hard earned hard currency back to SA, it stayed there.

Now here’s the real kicker.
Both of these people had had summer jobs in the US when they were in college.
They had desperately tried to immigrate to the US.
We wouldn’t take them.
