MANGENA, Clarity e WARRIA, Ajwang. The challenges experienced by Zimbabwean social workers practising in Gauteng townships. Social work (Stellenbosch. Online) [online]. 2017, vol.53, n.2, pp.250-265. ISSN 2312-7198. http://dx.doi.org/10.15270/52-2-567.
South Africa has seen increasing numbers of skilled and unskilled migrants coming into the country legally and illegally. Social work is a global profession and some of the skilled migrants coming to South Africa are social workers with foreign qualifications. This qualitative research was motivated by the need to understand the challenges faced by Zimbabwean social workers who are practising in a township in Gauteng province. Findings indicate that foreign social workers face challenges trying to navigate the work space in South Africa. This study makes a contribution to debates on the migration of professionals as an important policy issue for South Africa.
