OverviewSouth Africans have long been present in the United Kingdom. However, since 1994, their numbers in the British Isles and, in particular London, have grown exponentially.

Variously labelled chicken runners, exiles and emigrants, these South Africans have regularly attracted attention in the South African media yet there has been no serious studies of these South Africans and their story. This book addresses that gap. It asks who these South Africans are, why they are in the UK, and what they were doing there.
