Abstract
[Globalization has made cross-border migration a normal part of life in many countries. Some migrants are expatriates being sent by their mother companies to subsidiaries while others migrate to achieve what is regarded as the “better life.” Contributing to the number of displaced people around the world are the foreign African migrants coming to South Africa, which has increased since 1994. Based on studies of domestic partners of German expatriates, and African migrants in Port Elizabeth, this chapter addresses the reception of migrants, their experiences and relationships with locals, and the extent to which they able to maintain their own cultures in their daily lives.]
