JP Breytenbach: Brexit paradox - opening new emigration doors for SAs

One of the hidden paradoxes of Brexit is that it is likely to stimulate South African emigration to the UK. JP Breytenbach of SA/UK legal emigration specialists Breytenbachs, reckons young skilled South Africans - and retirees with independent means - are going to be prime targets in the run-up to the UK actually closing its doors to automatic emigration from the European Union. We met on the steps of St Paul's Cathedral to talk about the way potential South African emigrants have reacted to Brexit, the recent municipal elections and the student unrest. As ever, the SA-born, UK-schooled lawyer pulled no punches when offering insights on the real emigration story.
