The government has evacuated another 49 Ghanaians from South Africa amid rising xenophobic tensions and anti-migrant sentiments in the country.

The latest group arrived at the Accra International Airport on Friday, August 21, as part of ongoing efforts to facilitate the safe return of Ghanaians affected by the situation.

The evacuation follows reports of attacks and growing tensions targeting foreign nationals in parts of South Africa, raising concerns over the safety and wellbeing of Ghanaians living and working there.

The latest exercise forms part of the government’s broader response, with efforts underway to assist Ghanaians who wish to return home.

Authorities are continuing to monitor developments in South Africa and coordinate with Ghana’s diplomatic mission and relevant South African authorities to safeguard the interests of Ghanaian nationals.

The government has also urged Ghanaians in affected areas to remain vigilant and follow safety guidance as efforts continue to address concerns over the welfare of migrants in the country.
