More People Leave South African than stats show

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Cape Town – Four times as many highly qualified South Africans leave the
country than the official number stated by government statistics, a
recent study by the University of Cape Town (UCT) shows.

Between 1989 and 1999, 41 496 professionals left the country, said
Professor David Kaplan, director of the Science and Technology Centre at
UCT. The official figure is 11 255.

Research focused on the five countries – Britain, Canada, America,
Australia and New Zealand – where three-quarters of all South African
emigrants go.

“When a person leaves the country by air, he may or may not indicate the
fact that he is emigrating on an official form. It is not compulsory to
provide such information. When a person leaves by ship, no such
information is required,” Kaplan said.

“To obtain accurate information, the researchers had to request the
necessary immigration information from the destination countries.”

A sufficient amount of information about immigrants’ qualifications and
their occupations was provided by Canada and New Zealand, and since
researchers believed the information would not differ significantly from
that of the other three countries, the information was regarded as
representative.

“Research indicated that the cream of our society is
emigrating.Well-qualified professionals, like doctors, lawyers and
engineers are leaving. They are also most often innovative and doing
pioneering work in their fields,” Kaplan said.

The report indicated that emigration sharply increased in the run-up to
the country’s first democratic elections in 1994, but tapered off
slightly after the elections.
