The Ghana High Commission in South Africa has issued a safety advisory to Ghanaian nationals living in South Africa, urging them to remain indoors and exercise extreme caution amid ongoing anti-immigrant protests.
The directive comes as tensions rise in parts of South Africa, where demonstrations linked to concerns over foreign nationals have created security fears for migrants, including Ghanaians residing in the country.
The High Commission advised citizens to avoid protest areas, limit unnecessary movement, and remain alert to developments while authorities work to manage the situation.
Ghana’s diplomatic authorities are expected to continue monitoring events and engaging relevant South African officials to help ensure the safety and protection of Ghanaian residents.
The advisory has heightened concerns among Ghanaian communities in South Africa, with many calling for calm and vigilance as tensions surrounding immigration continue to dominate public discussions.
The High Commission reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Ghanaian nationals and encouraged citizens facing emergencies to seek assistance through official channels.
