Whilst the term ‘semigration’ may be relatively new, the process is centuries old. It refers to the translocation of people from one region to another region within the same country. Emigration is one of the buzzwords in most social circles in our country as we struggle to regain ground within the context of economic and political turbulence.
However, for those who have chosen to stay in this beautiful country and tap into the potential that it offers, semigration is a very likely possibility.
Reasons for relocation may include factors of security and crime, traffic and infrastructure or family and friends, but according to a study done by FNB the primary driver for semigration is work and financial opportunities.
"Approximately 7% of all sellers sell in order to relocate within South Africa."
This means that most semigration is in the direction of the City of Gold – Johannesburg, the number one in business opportunities. Despite the allure of the ocean, mountains and lifestyle, Cape Town falls far behind as number two, with KZN following closely behind in third place.
