About Dr Anjofui Patience Anegub

Dr. Anjofui Patience is a development practitioner specialising in migration studies, community development, and the study of Christianity. She uses qualitative and, in particular, case study methods to explore ways through which the lives of migrants in South Africa can improve through policy reforms encouraging social integration. This led to her PhD dissertation, which focused on the effects of South Africa’s migration policy on skilled migrants. Anjofui received her PhD from the Department of Development Studies, University of the Western Cape, in 2024. Currently, she is a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Religion, where she is researching African Pentecostalism and international migration.
