The first group of Ghanaian nationals accepted their government’s voluntary repatriation offer and departed from OR Tambo International Airport on Wednesday.
The first group of 300 Ghanaian nationals who accepted their government’s repatriation offer departed from OR Tambo International Airport on Wednesday morning, as anti-illegal immigration protests continued to spread across parts of South Africa.
The Ghanaian government has launched the first phase of its voluntary repatriation programme for citizens wishing to return home.
This followed growing concerns about the safety and well-being of foreign nationals amid heightened tensions linked to anti-illegal immigration demonstrations.
Many said they had travelled to South Africa in search of better opportunities, but their experiences had instead become a nightmare, leaving them fearful for their safety.
