Abstract
The post-modem society is described as a society on the move, a phenomenon the
anthropologist, (Vigouroux, 2005) describes as 'flows'. These flows are mostly manifested
by people moving in and towards countries with better economic prospects. In most African
countries there is a large-scale migration from rural to urban areas and a lot of trans-national
migration across countries, due to recent socio-economic and socio-political trends.
Democracy in South Africa became a powerful drawing card on the African continent for
those nations plagued by poverty, unemployment and civil wars and migration to South
Africa became increasingly popular. Therefore, democracy in South Africa is also a spatial
process, which transcends local and national geographical spaces.
