2011-2022 Census - Report Released 10 October 2023

Stats SA has confirmed that during the February 2022 Census, every individual in South Africa, including foreign nationals, was accounted for.

The recent report released on Tuesday (10 October 2023) indicates a modest rise in the population of individuals born outside of South Africa over an 11 year period.

The data reveals that the majority of these foreign nationals are male young adults, aged between 20-44.

A significant portion of them come from five countries: Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Lesotho, Malawi, and the United Kingdom (UK). Notably, these countries have retained their rankings since the 2011 Census.

Top 5:

– Zimbabwe: 1.012 million (45%)
– Mozambique: 416,564 (18.7%)
– Lesotho: 227,770 (10.2%)
– Malawi: 198,807 (8.9%)
– UK: 61,282 (2.8%)


[Nigerian numbers dropped from 26,341 in 2011 to 24,718 in 2022, but still moved up to 9th place (from 11th) on the list.]

Addressing the complexities of documented versus undocumented immigrants, Calvin Molongoana, the Census project director at Stats SA, emphasised that every individual present in South Africa in February of the previous year was included in the count.

This encompasses tourists and those in transit. "Anyone within the country's borders, regardless of their legal status, documented or undocumented, was counted," Molongoana stated.

However, he clarified that members of the diplomatic corps and other diplomatic officials were excluded, as they are recorded by their respective nations.

On the topic of migration patterns, Statistician-General Risenga Maluleke highlighted that the Western Cape, Northern Cape, North West, Gauteng, and Mpumalanga provinces experienced "positive net-migration."

This indicates that these provinces saw more incoming migration than outgoing.

The overall SA population increased by 10 million to 62 million people in a decade.

So UK people japa too?

I thought there were over 5million Nigerians in SA taking over there businesses according to those retarded xenophobes?

Naija nor just send at all

There are millions of Cameroonians, togolese, Ghanaians,etc all living in Nigeria but the average Nigerian does not give a f*ck

These other African countries will see some Nigerians amongst them and start shouting as tho half of Nigeria has migrated to their country.... e come be like say na prestige to claim say many Nigerians dey their country

Or it reveals how destructive some nationalities are.

Check the statistics

A large numbers of UK and india citizens (G20 citizens) have left your country ever since you started your Xenophobic crusade in 2011.

Sadly enough, countries who are often at the receiving end of your attacks are growing in Numbers. I.e. the Zimbabweans, Mozambicans etc.

It could also mean the economy improved in those G20 countries. India's economy is booming and the UK delivered Brexit.

As for Nigeria... 2 words... Air Peace.

It reveals other nationalities see a few Nigerians living amongst them as a big deal while the average Nigerian does not even take it into consideration....the moment you step into Nigeria as a black person, you're considered Nigerian(it has it's positives and negatives)

Everybody is too busy chasing after their means of livelihood to consider who's Nigerian or not

Yh I noticed it too....the Zimbabwean numbers keeps increasing....I'm like 'una nor dey see say Dem( black SAns) nor like una'?? Well na desperation cause am


SA xenophobes have a lot to deal with when it comes to their 'closest cousin'

No, it reveals how ill-disciplined Nigerians are abroad. Just last week a Nigerian was been chased down the streets of India for destructive behaviour. Even in a population of 1.3 billion in India, Nigerians still have a bad reputation.

And I've never heard indians complain that Nigerians were taking over their businesses and country the way other Africans do once they see two or three Nigerians living semi-decent lives in their countries

Here I was thinking there were millons of Nigerians in SA with the way you guys constantly talk about Nigerians doing the most(both good and bad) in your country. Not knowing that Nigerians in your country are not even up to 30000

Bad reputation or not,most of the hate directed towards Nigerians by other Africans is simply borne out of jealousy mixed with inferiority complex

Thank God the numbers are decreasing sha....may this trend continue

Which businesses have South Africans complained that Nigerians are taking over? Even Dangote struggles to survive in SA. Name one major Nigerian company which is successful in SA.🤣

As for the rest no SA person is gonna cry over your brothels, drug dens, and yahoo internet cafes. All illicit businesses hence the dissatisfaction with how you operate.

'They are taking over our jobs' is the major slogan of your xenophobic comrades anytime they embark on their hate-filled crusades/campaigns....it was even mentioned in a recent BBC documentary


As for dangote, we're happy to hear any negative news about his business....we nor like am here too,na govt dey give am monopoly

by 2025 there will be only 5000 Nigerians in SA.

BY THEN , THE ZA ECONOMY WOULD AV BEEN SO MESSED UP.

I thought there were up to a million Nigerians in South Africa.
So it is just 24,000 Nigerians that South Africans have issues with.

Does "they're taking over our jobs" apply to you? I thought Nigerians "took over our businesses" and were the masters of enterprise. Decide which one it is🤣

Its sad you couldn't think of a SINGLE successful major Nigerian company in SA😭 Its tragic for people we're supposed to be envying much.

If you believe undocumented Nigerians sat around for Census officials to knock at their door then you'll believe anything. Even the Zim number is far higher when you consider how much the population has shrunk in Zimbabwe itself.

I don't live in SA to know the individual businesses run by Nigerians

There's a difference between running individual businesses/enterprise and working for cooperate organizations


The former is where you Black SAns obviously fail woefully at which has caused your hatred for others you see thriving individually ... You lack the knowledge and grit needed to run individual businesses....You can only work and thrive in the presence of established firms.... that is where the average Nigerian has the edge over you

This one is still desperately trying to cling on to the false idea and belief that there are millions of Nigerians in SA instead of facing factual evidence given to him.
The idea that there are not so many nigerians living in SA is too traumatizing for your.... how else would you be able to deal with your inferiority complex when it comes to Nigerians when the idea that millions of Nigerians are dying to be in your country has been proven to be a big fat lie?

Which businesses are these though Mr Quack SA Expert? You can't even name well-known major Nigerian businesses but you're adamant you know everything at street level even though u dont live in SA.

Take it from someone in SA - Nigerians run illicit underground business that no South African would want to get involved in. When impoverished SA people are complaining, they're talking about Ethiopians and Somalis - not you.

This is your speciality, hence the terrible reputation ⬇️

With the way South Africans behave, you will literally think there are hordes of foreigners in their country overwhelming the indigenous population, but it’s just a goddamn measly 3%. Omo, things are really happening o!!! I literally thought there were millions upon millions of Nigerians in their country. WTF!!!!

Oh, did i mention SA has been denying Nigerians visas left, right and centre since the yellow fever saga of the Zuma years? 🤣 And the trend continues to this day.

Ok, now that explains the stagnation and decline. BINGO!

Good thing you acknowledged that you do 'complain'


If you were having this argument with an Ethiopian, you would have named Nigerian and somalis has the only ones you complain about taking your jobs.

If it were with a Somalian, yu you would have mentioned Nigerians and Ethiopians

You'll continue shifting goal post for ages... that's the only way you know to avoid/owning UpTo and facing what/who you truly are
