Ghana’s High Commissioner to South Africa (SA), Benjamin Anani Quashie has confirmed that a plane carrying 300 Ghanaians is due to depart from SA any day now.
Quashie said Accra may avail more flights to any Ghanaians who feel unsafe in SA following anti-illegal immigrant protests and targeted economic disruptions in several cities.
Tensions reached a breaking point following a viral video showing a Ghanaian national being accosted and harassed.
Since then, local groups have reportedly seized property and shop keys from foreign traders, including Ghanaians in areas like Estcourt in the Kwa-Zulu Natal Province.
