Abstract: 

This article examines the critical interrelationships between economic, cultural and religious affiliations in the lives of Somali refugees in Johannesburg. The article argues that these Somali migrants are developing strong communal experiences, an explicit ethno-religious identity and resilient ties (of remittances and trade) between the home country and the migrant community.
