Ghana has begun plans to repatriate more than 200 citizens from South Africa after migrants reported harassment, intimidation and forced business closures during anti-immigration protests.
The move follows weeks of demonstrations in parts of South Africa where protesters accused undocumented foreigners of crime and job theft.
Protests spread across Mthatha, Durban, Pretoria, Estcourt and Johannesburg, with some local groups demanding foreigners leave the country.
Ghana’s High Commission in South Africa said many citizens now fear for their safety and have requested voluntary evacuation back to Ghana.
