Abstract
The irregular migration from southern Ethiopia to RSA is dominated by young, single men aged 20 to 34. The majority of the smuggled migrants are first or second born children. The multivariate analysis showed that age, residence and employment status have a significant negative association with the migration while sex, marital status, education, duration of residence and birth order have negative association. Over 44% of the respondents view that the main cause for the irregular migration is perceived better opportunities in RSA and only 8% of them claimed poverty. The irregular migration is facilitated by a network of human smugglers found in Addis Ababa, Hossana or other town in Ethiopia and they work in cooperation with several smugglers from Kenya and Somalia. Return migrants are better off now than before their migration. Many of the smuggled migrants said their journeys were harsh with unexpected negative consequences.
