Ghana has condemned the fatal shooting of one of its nationals during anti-immigrant protests in South Africa and demanded the arrest and prosecution of those responsible.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs named the victim as Bashiru Isak, 40, who was shot dead in Khayelitsha, Cape Town, on Monday, June 30, during demonstrations linked to a wave of xenophobic attacks on foreign nationals.
"The Government of Ghana condemns, in the strongest terms, this senseless act of violence and the rising tide of xenophobia targeting African nationals, including Ghanaians, in South Africa," read the statement issued on Thursday, July 2.
