  • South African Australians are residents of Australia who are of South African ancestry. According to the 2006 Australian census 104,128 Australians were born in South Africa. Also in the Census 79,513 residents claimed South African ancestry, either alone or with another ancestry. Immigration from South Africa to Australia, particularly by professionals, accelerated in the 1990s. The majority of South African immigrants to Australia were of British descent, only a very small percentage, around 2-3% were of Afrikaans origin. More than half of the South African Australians arrived following the election of Nelson Mandela in 1994. a behaviour stigmatised by white South Africans who remained in their homeland as "Packing for Perth". In 2007-08 4,000 South Africans permanently settled in Australia, a number that is slightly lower than previous years. Sydney has the largest number of South African born residents (28,425), followed by Perth (18,828), Melbourne (17,318) and Brisbane (12,821).
