Demographics

{{multiple issues|section=yes|{{Expand section|date=September 2015}}{{Unreferenced section|date=September 2015}}
}}

The majority of these people{{clarify|date=September 2015}} are concentrated in largely affluent areas of London{{according to whom|date=September 2015}}, the anecdotal evidence being that many are business people working in the City of London. There is, for instance, a South African-born cluster in the Canary Wharf area{{according to whom|date=September 2015}}. In fact{{according to whom|date=September 2015}}, London has the second-largest number of South African expatriates in the Western world. University towns such as: Oxford, Cambridge, Edinburgh and Bristol also show significant clusters of South African-born people. Many young people with British family ties have come over the years to work in the UK, including the public services.[1]

According to the 2001 UK Census, 140,201 South African-born people were living in the UK, although most recent estimates put the population (including those of South African descent) at over half a million{{according to whom|date=September 2015}}. Unlike the Republic of South Africa itself, the majority of South Africans in the United Kingdom are not ethnically Black, but White. The 2001 UK Census revealed that 90% of South Africans in the UK are White (mainly of British and Afrikaner origin), 3% Black, 3% Indian, 2% Mixed, 2% Other. There are a large number of Jewish South Africans in the UK. It is estimated that 9% of the South African population in London is Jewish, as compared to 2% of Londoners as a whole who would identify with belonging to the Jewish faith.[2]
