• The migration is largely driven by economic necessity, with people leaving the Eastern Cape for better opportunities in other provinces, particularly Gauteng and the Western Cape.
• The trend is expected to continue, with Gauteng projected to receive approximately 1,420,447 migrants between 2021 and 2026, while the Eastern Cape continues to experience significant outflows.
