South Africa's net international migration is slowing, with over 880,000 immigrants estimated between 2021 and 2026, impacted by xenophobic protests, COVID-19 restrictions, and increased deportations.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a tightening labour market as immigrant inflows slow and deportations rise, pushing local talent demand higher. Plan for hiring challenges and shifting public sentiment affecting workforce availability now.
