The DA welcomed the release of the results, which showed improvements
in a number of key areas, DA spokesman Mmusi Maimane said in a
statement. The census deserved to be studied in some detail by all South Africans with an interest in the state of the nation, he said. 'What is immediately clear is that South Africans are voting with their feet. Hundreds of thousands of South Africans are migrating away from
areas where service delivery is poor and job prospects are few.' In the past 10 years, 278,261 and 152,857 people left the [ANC-controlled] Eastern Cape and Limpopo respectively."
