Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonathan Klaaren blends legal and social history in this engaging account of early conceptions of South African citizenship. He argues that distinctively South African notions of citizenship and nationality come out of the period 1897 to 1937, through legislation and official practices employing the key concept of ‘prohibited immigrant’ and seeking to regulate the mobility of three population groups: African, Asian and European. Further, he makes the case that the regulation and administration of immigrants from the Indian sub-continent, in particular, provided the basis for the vision and eventual reality of a unified, although structurally unequal, South African population. This book fits into the growing field of Mobility Studies, which seeks to understand and document the migration of people both within and across national borders, while exploring the origins of those borders. In addition to nationality and citizenship, it touches on African pass laws, the origins of the Public Protector, the scheme importing Chinese labour to the gold mines, the development of internal bureaucratic legality, and India-South Africa intra-imperial relations. With its attention to the role of law in state-building and its understanding of the central place of implementation and administrative law in migration policy, this book offers a distinctive focus on the relationship between migration and citizenship.

Download or read book Zimbabwean Migrant Parents and Changing Immigration Law in South Africa written by Pamela Maombera and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explores the implications of South Africa's amended regulations to the cross-border movement of children on migrant parents working in South Africa and their children who remain in neighboring countries. The new regulations require minors, or persons below the age of 18 years, to present, in addition to a valid passport, an unabridged birth certificate, an affidavit from parents, and, if applicable, a court order, at the immigration port of entry in order to enter or exit South Africa. While the policy was a response to incidents of child trafficking and was meant to protect children, for a migrant-receiving country like South Africa where the majority of migrants are of unclear legal status, including asylum seekers who left children back home, the policy provides a major barrier to a children-parent reunion. The study adopted a quantitative approach, using a case study of migrant parents from Zimbabwe in the Gauteng Province. It investigated the situation of these migrant parents in South Africa, their relationship with their home country, the implications of the policy amendments, and their responses to the policy. The study recognises the changing nature of Zimbabwean migration - from circular to semi-permanent and permanent migration - and found that, while the migrant parents have connections with their rural home, they do not intend to return home. They also face constraints in their cross-border mobility either because of their legal status or their job situation. These constraints also mean that it is difficult for these parents to satisfy the requirements in terms of the documentation for their children to cross the border. In order to contact their children, these parents rely on the children moving into South Africa during school holidays. The new policy, however, makes it difficult for their children to move into and out of South Africa legally. The parents fell back on past relationships with --omalayisha‖, or cross-border transporters, and developed new ones with bus crews to ensure continued contact with children. They act as agents to smuggle children into and out of South Africa at parents' requests. In the context of South Africa's porous borders and corruption at border posts, children enter and exit South Africa at a price. Despite the costs involved, there are also risks to the children as some of these agents use undesignated entry points, including crossing the dangerous Limpopo River. The study concludes that the new policy amendments ignored the realities of migration in South Africa, which should be understood from South Africa's attitude on migration. The policy changes provided a layer of challenges for negotiating the border by migrant parents, which forced parents to find alternative ways of negotiating the border. The study therefore advocates for a policy rethink, taking into account South Africa's migration situation. It stresses the importance of considering migrants as stakeholders in any cross-border policy on children.

Book excerpt: Divided into three thematic parts to guide the reader, this important volume documents the development and implementation of refugee policy in South Africa over a 10-year period from 1996 until 2006. In doing so, it addresses issues of detention, gender, children and health as well as welfare policies for refugees. The contributions, all written by academics and practitioners of refugee protection, vividly illustrate the tangible shifts and concerns of a process that is not only aimed at establishing policies and legislation but also practices concerning refugees.

Download or read book South south Migration and Remittances written by Dilip Ratha and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "South-South Migration and Remittances" reports on preliminary results from an ongoing effort to improve data on bilateral migration stocks. It sets out some working hypotheses on the determinants and socioeconomic implications of South-South migration. Contrary to popular perception that migration is mostly a South-North phenomenon, South-South migration is large. Available data from national censuses suggest that nearly half of the migrants from developing countries reside in other developing countries. Almost 80 percent of South-South migration takes place between countries with contiguous borders. Estimates of South-South remittances range from 9 to 30 percent of developing countries' remittance receipts in 2005. Although the impact of South-South migration on the income of migrants and natives is smaller than for South-North migration, small increases in income can have substantial welfare implications for the poor. The costs of South-South remittances are even higher than those of North-South remittances. These findings suggest that policymakers should pay attention to the complex challenges that developing countries face not only as countries of origin, but also as countries of destination.

Download or read book Citizenship Law in Africa written by Bronwen Manby and published by African Minds. This book was released on 2012-07-27 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few African countries provide for an explicit right to a nationality. Laws and practices governing citizenship leave hundreds of thousands of people in Africa without a country to which they belong. Statelessness and discriminatory citizenship practices underlie and exacerbate tensions in many regions of the continent, according to this report by the Open Society Institute. Citizenship Law in Africa is a comparative study by the Open Society Justice Initiative and Africa Governance Monitoring and Advocacy Project. It describes the often arbitrary, discriminatory, and contradictory citizenship laws that exist from state to state, and recommends ways that African countries can bring their citizenship laws in line with international legal norms. The report covers topics such as citizenship by descent, citizenship by naturalization, gender discrimination in citizenship law, dual citizenship, and the right to identity documents and passports. It describes how stateless Africans are systematically exposed to human rights abuses: they can neither vote nor stand for public office; they cannot enroll their children in school, travel freely, or own property; they cannot work for the government.--Publisher description.
