Ghana’s President, John Dramani Mahama, has granted presidential approval for the immediate evacuation of 300 Ghanaians in South Africa.
This was announced by Ghana’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
According to the Minister in a post on Facebook on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, “These distressed Ghanaians had earlier complied with the Foreign Ministry’s advisory and registered with our High Commission in Pretoria to be rescued following the latest wave of xenophobic attacks.”
He said the Government of Ghana shall continue to safeguard the welfare of all Ghanaians home and abroad.
Ghanaians and other African nationals in South Africa including Nigerians have in recent times suffered xenophobic attacks.
