South Africa Fires Back At Ghana Over Killing Of Citizen, Says Attack Was Extortion, Not Xenophobia

The South African government has fired back at Ghana, accusing the Ghanaian government of spreading false information by linking the fatal shooting of a Ghanaian national to the anti-immigrant demonstrations. SaharaReporters earlier reported that the Ghanaian government petitioned the African Union (AU) over the killing of one of its citizens, a 40-year-old fashion designer, Mr. Bashiru Isak, who was allegedly shot dead during anti-immigrant violence in Khayelitsha, Cape Town, South Africa.
