South African Argentines or Boer Argentines are Argentine citizens of South African descent or South African-born people residing in Argentina.
South African immigration to Argentina is the settlement of people from South Africa in Argentina, mainly by Afrikaners. This settlement began from 4 June 1902 onwards.[1] Most of them (including a handful of coloured servants) settled in Chubut Province, southern Argentina. The main cities where they settled was Sarmiento in Chubut.
South African settlers who arrived in Argentina, were entirely of Boer origin. Today the Afrikaans language remains, although is only spoken by around 600 people.[2]
This South American country was chosen by many South Africans to emigrate because of facilities to settle.
