Foreign nationals settling in urban South Africa - Are we at risk?

It has become more and more apparent that something strange is afoot.

In the normalcy of suburbia, almost invisible, foreign nationals are moving in and forming a core of foreign ideas and businesses, whilst we are oblivious to the change that is coming... that of a rather radically new society im the aftermath of upheavals in Africa and other parts of the world.

Also See: The International Federation's Disaster Relief Emergency Fund report of 8 November 2010 confirming the influx.

Since the advent of its democratic dispensation in 1994, South Africa has become a primary destination and point of transit for people from across the African continent and beyond. In addition, there is a mix of people who come to South Africa seeking protection, prosperity, or passage, whilst a small but important number of this population are migrants who have been forced to flee their respective countries for various reasons and seek safety in South Africa.
