African migrants pay high prices to send money home
New data from the World Bank has revealed that African migrants pay more to send money home to their families than any other migrant group in the world.
While South Asians pay an average of US$6 for every $100 they send home, Africans often pay more than twice that - and in South Africa, which has the highest remittance costs on the continent, nearly 21 percent of money set aside for family members back home is spent on getting it there.
