The aim of the study is to determine the migration patterns and characteristics to Grabouw’s informal settlements. The study distinguished between two different migration patterns occurring in Grabouw, including: 1) people not born in Grabouw but who migrated there, and 2) people who are considering migrating in the future. The data for this study was extracted from two dataset. Firstly, the Census 2011 data was extracted by cross-tabulating the people who migrated to Grabouw with their socio-demographic and socio-economic characteristics, and the housing and service-delivery conditions within which they stay. The results from the Census data are used to contextualise migration patterns to Grabouw in general for people who have migrated to the different suburbs by the time that the Census 2011 data was collected. The second phase of the data collection for this thesis involved obtaining primary survey data that was collected by a multi-stakeholder initiative driven by the Departments of Sociology and Anthropology, and Geography and Environmental Studies at Stellenbosch University. The findings show that migration patterns for both migrants in Grabouw are caused by employment opportunities. Educational attainment among both migrants is predominantly secondary level, indicating that most people in Grabouw have not pursued tertiary education. This is reflected in their employment, as a significant number are employed as full-time farmworkers, which is consistent with their income range of R4,001 to R8,000. The connection between education level and lower-income occupations, such as farmwork, is evident in this population. The main implication is that the local government should invest in important sectors such as tourism, Agri-processing, and agriculture to support local economic growth which will led to employment opportunities in Grabouw. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Wêreldwyd migreer mense van punt van oorsprong as gevolg van druk- en trekfaktore na plek van bestemming. Die doel van die studie is om die migrasiepatrone en kenmerke na Grabouw se informele nedersettings te bepaal. Die studie het onderskei tussen twee verskillende migrasiepatrone wat in Grabouw voorkom, insluitend: 1) mense wat nie in Grabouw gebore is nie, maar wat daarheen gemigreer het, en 2) mense wat dit oorweeg om in die toekoms te migreer. Die data vir hierdie studie is uit twee datastel onttrek. Eerstens is die Sensus 2011-data onttrek deur die mense wat na Grabouw gemigreer het met hul sosio-demografiese en sosio-ekonomiese kenmerke, en die behuisings- en diensleweringsomstandighede waarbinne hulle bly, te kruistabuleer. Die resultate van die Sensusdata word gebruik om migrasiepatrone na Grabouw in die algemeen te kontekstualiseer vir mense wat na die verskillende voorstede gemigreer het teen die tyd dat die Sensus 2011-data ingesamel is. Die tweede fase van die data-insameling vir hierdie tesis het behels die verkryging van primêre opnamedata wat ingesamel is deur 'n multi-belanghebbende-inisiatief gedryf deur die Departemente Sosiologie en Antropologie, en Geografie en Omgewingstudies aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch. Die bevindinge toon dat migrasiepatrone vir beide migrante in Grabouw deur werksgeleenthede veroorsaak word. Opvoedkundige prestasie onder beide migrante is oorwegend sekondêre vlak, wat aandui dat die meeste mense in Grabouw nie tersiêre opleiding gevolg het nie. Dit word weerspieël in hul indiensneming, aangesien 'n aansienlike aantal as voltydse plaaswerkers in diens geneem word, wat ooreenstem met hul inkomstereeks van R4 001 tot R8 000. Die verband tussen onderwysvlak en laer-inkomste-beroepe, soos plaaswerk, is duidelik in hierdie bevolking. Die hoofimplikasie is dat die plaaslike regering in belangrike sektore soos toerisme, agri-verwerking en landbou moet belê om plaaslike ekonomiese groei te ondersteun wat sal lei tot werksgeleenthede in Grabouw.
