Johannesburg. Ghanaian nationals queued at Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport early on Wednesday to board one of the first flights home after waves of anti-immigrant protests in South Africa heightened safety concerns.
The group of 300 people included women and children in what authorities described as a voluntary repatriation process for Ghanaian citizens who said they no longer felt safe.
South African officials have been coordinating with Ghanaian authorities on a list of around 800 people who have indicated a desire to leave the country.
