Crush and McDonald (2001) Official immigration statistics (number of immigrants per annum, 1960s-1999) 1960s-1999 Documents the decline in formal immigration under and after apartheid as evidence of postapartheid disinterest in immigration.
Sabbagh (1968) Official immigration figures for 1962-1963 1962-1963 Shows net White immigration exceeding the Tomlinson assumption, which bears on the realism of the projections.
