ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this paper the effects and dynamics of out-migration in the Eastern Cape province was examined through studying the migration movements from the Eastern Cape in 2001. In the process the spatial patterns of the out-migrants in the province was highlighted. Furthermore, the demographic and economic profiles of the migrants were also gathered to understand their movements. It was found that out migration within the Easten Cape mostly occurred to the big (coastal) cities and urban areas. Inter-provincial migration occurs mostly between the Eastern Cape and the Western Cape and Gauteng with 33.8% of all out migrants that head to the Western Cape, and 31.6 % of migrants who move to Gauteng. Most migrants are from the rural districts of Eastern Cape as compared to the urban districts, i.e., Sarah Baartman, Nelson Mandela and Buffalo City. Reasons for the migration from the Eastern Cape differed depending on where the migrants were from. Demographic profiles further showed that men and women between 15 and 34 years old would be the most likely to migrate. The rural areas of the Eastern Cape province are negatively affected by out migration as people who are economically active due to being young are migrating to urban areas or other provinces. These are the people who could positively contribute to the economy and development of the Eastern Cape. The people that remain in the province are usually less educated, with no or very little income, making them highly dependent on social grants and remittances. Although the poor economy is the main reason for migration to urban centraL and other provinces, the situation is exacerbated by poor service delivery concerning education, health, water and infrastructure. Poor governance and a corrupted provincial government are the main fuels of poor service delivery and poor development.The province is caracterised by high political corruption that hinders development. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie tesis is die effek van migrasie in die Oos-Kaap Provinsie ondersoek deur die migrasiebeweging in en van die Oos-Kaap in 2001 en 2011 te bestudeer. In die proses is die ruimtelike planne van die uit-migrante in die provinsie uitgelig. Voorts is die demogragiese en ekonomiese profiele van die migrante ook ingesamel in ’n poging om hulle bewegings te verstaan. Daar is vasgestel dat migrasie binne die Oos-Kaap meestal plaasgevind het na die groot stede en stedelike gebiede aan die kus. Interprovinsiale migrasie vind meestal vanaf Oos-Kaap na Wes-Kaap en Gauteng plaas met 33.8% van alle uit-migrante wat na die Wes-Kaap en 31.6% na Gauteng migreer het. Die meeste migrante kom van die landelike streke in die Oos-Kaap en minder van die stedelike gebiede soos Sarah Baartman, Nelson Mandele, en Buffelstad. Migrante vanaf die Oos-Kaap se redes vir migrasie het verskil na gelang van waar in die provinsie hulle oorspronklik vandaan gekom het. Demografiese profiele dui voorts aan dat mans en vroue, tussen die ouderdom van 15 en 34 jaar meer geneig is om te migreer. Die landelike gebiede van die Oos-Kaap word negatief deur uit-migrasie geraak aangesien diegene wat jonk en dus nog ekonomies aktief is, geneig is om na stedelike gebiede of ander provinsies te migreer. Hierdie is die einste mense wat ’n positiewe bydrae tot die ekonomie en ontwikkeling van die Oos-Kaap kan maak. Die mense wat in die provinsie agterbly is gewoonlik minder geleerd, met geen of min inkomste, wat veroorsaak dat hulle hoogs afhanklik is van maatskaplike toelae en uitbetalings. Alhoewel die swak ekonomie die hoofrede vir migrasie na stedelike gebiede en ander provinsies is, word die situasie vererger deur swak dienslewering ten opsigte van onderwys, gesondheid, water en infrastruktuur. Dit kan toegeskryf word aan swak bestuur en ’n korrupte provinsiale regering.
