According to a recent survey, some nine million South Africans want to emigrate. And 2430000 believe they have the funds and qualifications to do it.
Something tells me that this survey is deeply flawed.

But seriously, 9 million!
That's almost as high a proportion as are leaving basket case countries like Somalia and Zimbabwe. Something about that survey just doesn't ring true, and I suspect that the survey was not in any sense scientific. Who would take 9 million, even if they could afford the fare and were qualified?
But perhaps it would make more room for Zimbabweans.

Many will no doubt end up in Europe (mostly the UK), the USA and Australia/New Zealand.
While here they will "complain that they did not move here to be told what to do", "endlessly discuss their visa status" and complain about crime in the UK and book tickets back home again.
There are millions of South Africans abroad. Many South Africans want to or have emigrated out of South Africa.
There's a huge shortage of skill in the country.
That's why there are programs at the moment aimed at getting South Africans back home (such as the "homecoming revolution").
But more and more South Africans are trying to learn European languages in SA so they can leave South Africa.
