This study concerned the migration of people from Zimbabwe to South Africa in the period between 2000 and 2016. This has been a time in Zimbabwe's post-independence era characterised by declining political and economic circumstances precipitated by a violent social and political upheaval. Adopting a qualitative methodology, the study used semi-structured interviews with Zimbabwean migrants (n = 16) and key informants (n = 6) in Johannesburg, South Africa, to facilitate the collection of rich, deep, nuanced, contextual, and multidimensional data about the participants' migration experiences. Renowned for its capacity to aid comprehension of the experiences, values, and thoughts of a small number of respondents, qualitative research is particularly suitable when there is little knowledge about the phenomenon being studied and its parameters are unclear and poorly defined. The study aimed to: - Identify major factors driving migration from Zimbabwe to South Africa in general and Johannesburg, in particular.
- Explore the migration experience and challenges, including human rights violations that the migrants have experienced.
- Gain an understanding of migrants' coping mechanisms and survival strategies.
- Explore ways through which the migrants engaged with their host and home communities, including the role of remittances.
- Understand how participants saw their future.
