Is the growth in black population due to growth by birth or migration?
Appreciate a reply
I would also be interested to know if the migrant population from other parts of Africa has been responsible for the growth in black population in SA.Is there a figure available for incoming migrants and asylum seekers?
What is the contributing factor to the Black population growth?
What would be more interesting to see is the reasons behind coloured populations stagnation in growth. Is it due to lack of identity?
Not being given true BEE status to get better jobs or is it a case of Black BEE allowing Black progression that assists in the Black population growth?
Generally there is hope or some form of socio economic hope being realised by blacks which can lend itself to the growth in population.
Would the contrary apply to stagnation in Coloured growth? Some feedback would be great.
