Filipinos in South Africa are either migrants or descendants of the Philippines living in South Africa. Roughly half of them live in Gauteng.[1]
Many Filipinos migrate to South Africa to work in the fishing industry,[2] in the health care industry,[3] as skilled workers, or as engineers.[1]
In August 2008, the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs set up the Munting Paaralan school at the Philippine embassy in Pretoria, where fourteen children are enrolled for bimonthly classes.[4]
