Scores of Ghanaian nationals flocked to the Ghanaian embassy in Pretoria on Sunday, eager to participate in a screening and verification process set to facilitate their evacuation from South Africa.
Scores of Ghanaian nationals turned up for the screening and verification process at the Ghanaian embassy in Pretoria on Sunday.
This comes as Ghana's High Commissioner to South Africa, Benjamin Quashie, recently announced that 826 Ghanaians had registered to be evacuated from South Africa.
Quashie revealed that the screening process for the first 300 Ghanaians departing on Wednesday has been precipitated by the recent anti-migration protests that have erupted across the country.
The nationwide protests led by the interest group March and March in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, and the Eastern Cape have called for non-South Africans to leave the country by the end of June.
