South Africa

With the influx of migrants there have been recurrent protests linked to the delivery of public services in post-apartheid South Africa during which demonstrators have damaged property and chased away municipal officials. Their persistence over the years is indicative of the fact that these problems are not adequately or quickly enough resolved. The country is among those where the impact of social conflict has led to a significant slowdown in economic activity. The aim of this study is to demonstrate how migratory flows are at the root of social conflicts and their impact on the functioning of various sectors particularly that of the population in South Africa. To achieve this in terms of security we propose mechanisms for the South African government to eradicate migratory flows as a vector of social conflict.
