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.
