Last February Cyril Ramaphosa became South Africa's 5th President. His administration faces many critical challenges such as tackling the nation's high unemployment, handling the high influx of Zimbabwean refugees, violent crime, and reversing the ongoing brain drain. Instead of discussing land reform, the African National Congress and Economic Freedom Fighters must examine what "they" can do to prevent more young and talented South Africans from leaving their country.
I know it's been a while since I've last contributed -- but here I am again! Over the past few months I have been paying close attention to the issue of South Africa's brain drain. This map published by the Code For South Africa Data Journalism Academy illustrates where South Africans are moving to. The top recipients of skilled South Africans according to this study include the: United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Ireland. Aside from those countries, it's also important to note that many skilled South Africans are moving to the United States and New Zealand. Although data from this map is from 2015, it sheds light on a critical issue the South African government must face.
