Outsourcing is both one of the pros and cons of globalization. On one hand, it gives opportunity to the corporates to mete out work to its offshore branches or partners and thus, get the work done at a lesser cost. And on other hand, it raises serious concern among local people for the lack of job opportunities in their own native land. Utilization of capital with the cropping up of new markets and new opportunities is definitely the most vital impact of globalization on the richer countries. This in turn would generate more wealth and prosperity. Issues related to ethnic conflicts and diversity could be resolved as a result of intercontinental travel and immigration. And hence, opens the avenue of the cultural benefits. The MNCs are the real winners in the process of "going global". They not only get new consumers, more profits, more assets and employees, but also are able to carve out a global image for themselves. Soft drinks giants like Pepsi or Coca Cola are exemplars in this regard, as they have reached to the farthest of locations from the scorching deserts of Africa to the remote villages of Asia.

Positive Effects
1. The money sent from the South Africa helps decrease the migration 2. The education that people may obtain once they leave could be beneficial once they return. Negative Effects
Positive Effects 1. Interconnection of two different yet similar cultures (globalization) 2. Skilled migrants come into the country and contribute to the working force
Negative Effects 1. The continue of migration of Zimbabweans into South Africa leads to xenophobia towards Zimbabweans
Ways the Issue is being addressed: A.Zimbabwe 1. The most controversial piece of legislation that the Parliament has passed is Amendment 17. Amendment 17 states that the movement of any citizen of Zimbabwe to any other country is unconstitutional because it does not suit the well-being of the political situation in the country. B.South Africa 1. Policy on Immigration Approximately 250 immigrant applications are reviewed daily. The process to become a citizen of South Africa is not a very complex, or complicated, process. The number of people that have migrated from Zimbabwe to South Africa is around 1.7 million. 2. Economic Policy With a high ranking economy and a stable GDP, South Africa provides a great deal of opportunities to many Zimbabweans to start life anew. The unemployment rate in South Africa is almost 70% less than in Zimbabwe.
