Last year immigration into South Africa fell 40%, while the number of those leaving the country rose by one- third. Among the emigres are a disproportionate number of engineers, accountants, educators and physicians, whose departures constitute a serious brain drain. The most popular destination is Britain, where many have relatives. The runner-up is Australia, to which the South Africans have been flocking in such numbers that they have been dubbed the "new boat people." Quite a few who arrived in South...
