Talk:South Africans in the United Kingdom

Crime
'escape from the recent violence (South Africa has the second highest murder and rape rates in the world) that is plaguing South African society.'

I'm going to ask for a citation for the above. South Africa does have a high crime rate, but it has not been demonstrated that that is actually a 'push factor' i.e a cause of emigration from South Africa to the UK. Can anyone provide a citation to back this up? Indisciplined (talk) 19:04, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Definition of 'South African'
Seems odd that someone like Joan Collins, born in London to a British and a South African parent, raised in the UK and never (as far as I know) lived in South Africa, is listed as a South African in the UK. (The same is true of others as well mentioned in this article.) By the same logic Barack Obama is Kenyan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.89.131.57 (talk) 08:44, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Definition of "Ethnic Group"
White South Africans, Black South Africans and Asian South Africans et al could (within each category) come from a number of ethnic groups. 2603:6011:A600:46:F13B:6C91:18D5:5409 (talk) 16:43, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
