There are up to 2500 (over 3700 as measured in Census 2001) Pakistanis in South Africa based in various locations across Cape Town Gauteng and Durban. They are post-Apartheid migrants from Pakistan and should not be confused with Indian South Africans who are largely descendants of late 19th and early 20th century immigrants from pre-independence British India although the recent immigrants often live and work in traditionally Indian areas[citation needed].
