Magister Artium (Development Studies) - MA (DVS) / A large number of people have found themselves in South Africa as economic refugees due to the
economic decline that has been experienced in Zimbabwe over the years. A significant number are
undocumented and therefore face different challenges compared to other groups. Little research
has been done to look at this particular group. The research gives a background of the state of the
economy and the political reasons that have acted as a push factor to the people. The research seeks
to ascertain why and how a group of migrants viewed as especially vulnerable remit. In answering
this question, the thesis addresses specific questions such as; the types of jobs and socioeconomic
background of migrants, frequency and volumes of remitting and channels of remitting. These
questions were guided by the International Theory Migration and an empirical review of motives
for remitting.
