Emigration consultants in South Africa have reported a huge surge in enquiries from South African Indians following the recent violence and looting that wrecked KwaZulu-Natal province in July.

The province is home to about a third of South Africa’s 1.4 million citizens of Indian origin, largely descended from the first settlers who arrived as indentured labourers and merchants in 1860.
