South Africa, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand have been the major destinations after the respondents were forced to leave their farms, whilst the remainder reported a wide variety of different countries: Malawi, Zambia, the USA, Portugal, Canada, and Tanzania were all mentioned. Interestingly, there was no-one that mentioned Nigeria as the place of migration. Only 6% of the sample reported still being on their farm. This is slightly higher than the current estimate for the number of remaining commercial farmers, about 186 according to a recent estimate by Justice for Agriculture. The difference may be accounted by the earlier completion of this questionnaire, which was initially distributed in June 2006. Table 3 Current residence of sample.
