The Ghana High Commission in Pretoria, South Africa, has alerted its nationals of possible xenophobic attacks targeted at foreigners living and working in South Africa.
In a statement issued by the High Commission dated September 6, 2022, it said it had taken notice of a rise in attacks on foreign nationals in South Africa in recent times.
"In the last month, individuals claiming to represent various groups against the presence of foreigners have announced or broadcast plans to attack, nusticate or remove foreigners from theor jobs or workplaces and even out of the country from the beginning of September, 2022," part of the statement from the High Commission said.
The mission would thus, like to advise members of the Ghanaian community to be vigilant to any such incidents, restrict their movements to safe areas, avoid mass gatherings and refrain from engaging in activities that could result in conflict, brawls or deterioration in their safety.

What makes South Africa economically better than many African countries so that you are all rushing there for greener pastures? This is just a question for thought. I think that our leaders have failed us.
If you are looking for the most ungrateful human beings on Mother Earth, it's the South Africans. Under apartheid, the whole of Africa was solidly behind you in your struggle to gain independence from white minority rule. I remember in those days Ghana dedicated nearly one hour on GBC radio 2 to play anti apartheid songs in support of blacks in South Africa. Today, you have gained your freedom only to turn round to attack the very people who stood behind you in your times of need. If we knew this is how you were going to pay back, we would have rather supported the whites to further hold on to apartheid. The South Africans are behaving like pigs, they have soon forgotten. The worse human being on earth is the one who hurts the very person that will attend his mother's funeral, and this is the South African.
