New stats show a few South Africans trying to emigrate to liberal New Zealand as refugees, and failing! However many succeed as students & residents

New statistics published by New Zealand Immigration shows how South Africans have been trying to emigrate to the country using refugee status, and failing.

New Zealand resettles 1,000 refugees each year through its Refugee Quota Programme. Since World War II the country has resettled over 35,000 refugees, with the New Zealand government establishing an formal annual quota for the resettlement of refugees in 1987.

In 2019, nine South Africans applied to be part of the programme – bringing the total to 83 who have tried this route since 2010.

All of these applications have failed.

Refugees considered for resettlement under the programme must be recognised as mandated refugees and referred to New Zealand by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), according to prescribed resettlement guidelines.

According to the UNHCR, far from being a source country for refugees, South Africa is a country where refugees from neighbouring countries flee

Jong, wit Suid-Afrikaners voel nie meer welkom in SA

Suid-Afrika is ’n ontwikkelende land en een van meer as 23 lande wat deur die Internasionale Monetêre Fonds (IMF) as ’n ontluikende mark geklassifiseer word.

Boonop probeer ons land ná dekades van apartheidsregering ook nog transformeer om die land te wees wat oudpres. Nelson Mandela in die vooruitsig gestel het.

Daar was ’n tydperk van onsekerheid onder alle rasse met uiteenlopende vooruitsigte oor waarheen die land op pad is. Die ANC-regering onder Mandela het die idee van ’n reënboognasie gehuldig. ’n Suid-Afrika wat aan almal behoort wat hier woon, het hulle gesê.
Die idee van die reënboognasie

Heelwat wit Suid-Afrikaners was heeltemal geneë met die idee van ’n reënboognasie, sommige uit noodsaak omdat hulle wortels hier is. Hulle het werk hier gehad, hul huise was hier, sommige het huise of grond van hul voorvaders geërf en hul kinders het hier skoolgegaan. Om na ’n ander land te verhuis, was net nie ’n opsie nie.

Four things South Africans might find strange about the US

If you’re planning a visit or maybe even a big move to the United States there are a few things that we Saffas might find a bit odd about life in the states. Together with the emigration experts over at Grant Kaplan, we’ve put together our list of things that would leave most South Africans with a furrowed brow.

The prices you see aren’t the real prices
If you love doing complex addition and multiplication while trying to find the cheapest toilet paper at the supermarket, then the US is the place for you! Most displayed prices don’t include tax; that’s added when you get to the till to pay. If you’re on a budget, take a calculator or go equipped with Mensa-level maths skills.

Get a doctor from a park bench
Advertising for prescription medication, especially on television, is a big deal in America. Do doctors hand over prescriptions for anything the patient asks for? Should the general public be deciding which medications they take or should that be

Afrikaneremigrasie is ‘n werklikheid – Blankes vlug landuit

Of u nou daarvan hou of nie, emigrasie is ‘n werklikheid. Ek gaan nie kant kies nie, want dan gaan my teenstanders my stenig.

Die jongste opnames toon dat daar waarskynlik vanjaar nog in 2018 ‘n emigrasierekord opgestel gaan word.

Amptelike inligting toon dat landgenote wat vanjaar nog na die Verenigde Koninkryk wil emigreer, met 22% gestyg het.

Daar is alreeds sowat 200 000 Suid-Afrikaners in die VK, waarvan die meerderheid in Londen woon.

In Australië woon 190 000 Suid-Afrikaners, waarvan die meerderheid in Perth gesetel is. Daar is ook ‘n redelike groot aantal in Brisbane.

Daar word beweer dat Afrikaans Australië se tweede grootste taal is, en dat daar alreeds Afrikaanse skole en kerke gestig is.

Ander lande met groot getalle van ons mense, is: Nieu-Seeland, Kanada en die VSA.

Die redes vir emigrasie is velerlei. Mens sal ook seker nooit weet wat die werklike redes vir almal is nie, omdat baie mense bang vir intimidasie is.

Australië Maak ‘n Linksomkeer – versnelde visums aan wit Suid-Afrikaanse boere terugtrek

Die Australiese Eerste Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, het hom aangesluit by Julie Bishopp, sy minister van Buitelandse Sake, en aangekondig dat die Australiese regering Peter Dutton se standpunt oor versnelde visums aan wit Suid-Afrikaanse boere terugtrek.

Turnbull sê dit is teenstrydig met sy regering se immigrasiebeleid.

Die aankondiging is hartlik verwelkom deur Lindiwe Sisulu, Suid-Afrika se buitelandse sake minister, wat sê dat wit boere in die land beslis nie verdruk word nie!

Which five American states have the most similar weather to South Africa?

If you’re planning on moving to the US, you might want to consider the weather before deciding where to go.

If you want to move to the States and are not bound to any particular city or state, read what the experts at The Law Offices of Grant Kaplan have to say about which states’ weather most closely matches South Africa’s.

California
South and Central California boast some of the most pleasant temperatures year-round in the world. With a recorded 73% sunshine in places like Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, you might want to try and job-hunt here if you’re looking to replicate South Africa’s sunshiney days.

Hawaii
For sun, sand and sea, Hawaii is hard to beat. And if you’re into surfing and other water sports, Hawaii might be the ideal place to put down roots. Because it’s a series of islands, you may feel slightly more isolated than if you were on the mainland, but that might also be right up your alley.

Finding Expat Schools In New Zealand

Many expat families opt to place their children in one of New Zealand’s excellent public or private schools.

There are more than 20 schools in New Zealand, most in the Auckland area, that offer an International Baccalaureate (IB) programme. Some are private and some are state-sponsored. More than a dozen schools offer the Primary Years Programme, one school offers the Middle Years Programme, and 12 schools offer the Diploma Programme. Scots College in Wellington offers all three IB programmes.

New Zealand schools have a fine international reputation. They are divided into public and private systems. The vast majority of New Zealand children are educated in the public system. Private-school education is generally regarded as superior to public, but there are many exceptions. Places in private schools can be difficult to secure. Expats may send their children to public schools, private schools, or church schools.

Private schools are generally segregated by sex

Financial emigration: SARS and small expatriate fish

Emigrating from South Africa is not as simple as packing up your bags, jumping on a plane and setting up shop somewhere else. Unfortunately, there is still the issue of tax and no matter where you go, the taxman remains interested.

The South African Reserve Bank, SARS and even the globally agreed “common reporting standards” or “CRS” want to know your movements. Even Home Affairs have climbed on this bandwagon in respect of the White Paper released last year which recommends that all South Africans abroad must report themselves correctly, for good recordkeeping and for the authorities to know their whereabouts.

The only way to formally place yourself on record for all these items is to undertake the financial emigration process. This means that you will be noted with SARS (which covers your personal tax status and CRS) and the SARB (which covers your bank account status) that you are no longer “ordinarily resident” in South Africa for fiscal

Aussie minister sal voortgaan met sy plan om blanke boere van Suid-Afrika na Australië te bring

Die minister van binnelandse sake van Australië het bevestig dat hy sal voortgaan met sy plan om blanke boere van Suid-Afrika na Australië te bring.

Hy maak sy kritici af as “mal linkses” en volgens hom is hulle dood vir hom.

Minister Dutton het voorheen deurgeloop oor sy standpunt rondom asielsoekers vanuit Asië en die Middel Ooste.

TLU SA het vroeër reeds sy waardering uitgespreek vir die feit dat die minister opkom vir die Suid-Afrikaanse boere.

Suid-Afrikaner vertel om in Australië te boer is taai

Boerdery in Australië is taai en jy moet op jou eie werk. Jy moet alles self doen. Plase is duur en dit maak dit amper onbereikbaar vir Suid-Afrikaners. Dit is die grootste struikelblok. As jy bereid is om vir ’n Aussie te boer, is jy hoog in aanvraag.

Só sê Theo van Niekerk, ’n gewese Suid-Afrikaner wat in Excelsior op skool was en aan die Universiteit van die Vrystaat gestudeer het. Hy werk al 18 jaar as landboukundige in Australië en spesialiseer in grondvrugbaarheid en plantvoeding.

Hy werk met Aussie- en gewese Suid-Afrikaanse boere wat nou daar boer.

Netwerk24 het Van Niekerk om kommentaar genader oor die politieke en diplomatieke bom wat gebars het oor Australië wat ’n hand na Suid-Afrikaanse boere uitgereik het weens die planne om grond te onteien sonder vergoeding.

Van Niekerk sê daar is nie so baie Suid-Afrikaanse boere wat plase in Australië gekoop het nie. Hy ken net ses sulke boere, maar daar is baie Suid-Afrikaners wat vir die Aus
