📍 Ghana • by Stephen • May 29, 2026
Ghana’s High Commissioner to South Africa has revealed that about 80% of the 300 Ghanaians recently evacuated from South Africa were legally documented migrants. The evacuation happened following renewed xenophobic tensions and anti-immigration protests in some parts of South Africa.
According to reports, many Ghanaians feared for their safety after several foreign-owned businesses were allegedly targeted during demonstrations. Families arrived at the airport with luggage and belongings as Ghanaian officials coordinated their return home.
The issue has sparked massive reactions online, with many Ghanaians criticizing the treatment of African migrants in South Africa. Others are also calling on the government to create more opportunities locally to reduce migration pressure.
More evacuations are expected in the coming days as hundreds of Ghanaians have reportedly registered for repatriation.
