South-Eastern South Africa

South East

South Eastern Parts of South Africa (Cape Town, Durban, Gauteng, Johannesburg etc etc) have higher population of over 1000 people per square kilometer.

This is due to physical factors such as Availibility of minerals like Gold and Diamonds in Johannessburg and Gauteng Respectively. Additionally, good farming potentials due to high rainfall in areas like Western Cape.

South African relies extensively on rain-fed agriculture which sometimes lead to decline in produce.

Human Factors in the urban areas such as Johannesburg are influenced mainly by availability of secondary industries and accessibility.

Summary Of South African Population

Summary

High population densities are found in areas where there are good minerals such as gold and diamond, good farming potentials and advanced trading opportunities in cities such as Durban and Cape Town.

Due to distribution of rainfall, the population decreases from South-East to North-East.

Forced migration related to apartheid movement and voluntary migration after the collapse of arpatheid

Majority of the population migrate from the rural to cities to work as migrant labourers in the gold and diamond mines.

Migration is Circular, meaning the migrant moves repeatedly from home to the host areas.

Women are migrating to the urban areas, leaving their children in rural areas to be cared by their grandparents.

Circular migrants usually take poorly paid and insecure jobs in the informal economy.
