Question

Why do south africans immigrate to australia?

Answer 1

I am assuming you mean white South Africans.  From what I know, South Africa is in a brain drain and Australia is happy to pick up the people that can bring skills and speak english.  

Answer 2

Because they speak nearly the same dialect of English.  Have you ever listened to someone from South Africa?  As an American I find it very hard to distinguish the two.  If I listen to someone from Seether speak in an interview, it sounds the same to me as if I was listening to Angus Young from AC/DC.  Don't mean to sound nationalist or bigoted.  I've got nothing against either culture.  Love both the bands too.  ROCK WILL NEVER DIE!!!!!!!

Answer 3

Maybe because they feel wanted there.

Answer 4

because they have a shared culture and history - both were part of the British Empire at one time, speak English and have a similar education system.
