Middle-class diaspora: recent immigration to Australia from South Africa and Zimbabwe

Food Remittances: Migration and Food Security in Africa

“…38 Around one in three of the 6,000 poor urban households in 11 Southern African cities surveyed by the African Food Security Urban Network (AFSUN) in 2008-2009 had received food remittances from relatives or friends outside the city in the year prior to the study. 39 e prevalence of food remitting varied considerably from city to city, for reasons that are not altogether clear. 40 Receipts of food remittances were highest in Windhoek (at 47% of all households), followed by Lusaka (44%), Harare (42%), Maseru (37%), Blantyre (36%) and…”

Zimbabwe’s Emigrants: Growth and Change in Australia

A separate study by Forrest et al (2013) used 2006 census data to analyse southern African residential patterns in Perth; it also used longitudinal survey data between 1995 and 2006 to analyse experiences of resettlement in the first 18 months but the analysis was hampered by small numbers of Zimbabwe-born (83 respondents) and did not distinguish between males and females.…”
