Exploring the Voice of Populist Movements in the Employment of Foreign Nationals: A Comparative Study of Botswana and South Africa
Résumé
Labour immigration has been on the rise and has had policy implications for public leaders of relatively stable Southern African Development Corporation (SADC) countries. In this paper, the status of populism and labour immigration in Botswana and South Africa was explored. The primary sources of labour immigration are Zimbabwe and Mozambique. Economic disparities and the disintegration of the socio-economic conditions of the neighbouring countries have been major antecedents for the labour movements of the masses. The study utilised a qualitative method and comparative case study design. The study found that populist movements have much influence on the termination of employment of foreign nationals in Botswana and South Africa as shown by their anti-immigrant attitudes, market protectionism, and close-the-borders protests. As these measures have become inefficient over the years, policies and proposals are recommended in response.
