When South Africa experienced xenophobic attacks targeting Ghanaians, Ghana responded with diplomatic measures including evacuating citizens via aircraft and seeking reparation, demonstrating how nations can leverage diplomatic and economic pressure to address xenophobic incidents and protect their citizens abroad.

South Africa underestimated Ghana; They didn't do their ResearchAñadido:
Abuja South Africa for >> why are we benefiting from foreigners? I don't say properly they did their research into us Ghanaians or how they prefer to say it >> Ghanians >> see every year upon year for the past couple of years they've been doing this xenophobic nonsense and always their target were you know Nigerians so you know nothing happens Nigeria for their president and their leaders they suck and then they decided to kind of flip the script turn the attention to other Africans including us Ghanaians or >> Ghanians And now they've realiz >> we are not people to be [ __ ] with. We play on a different field all together.
We are the country. We decided to go after Nigeria because of Jolof. Not anything Jolof.
>> This is Nigerian Jalof and this is Ghanian Jalof. But whose jalof is better?
>> They have most things Nigeria bigger, better than Ghanaians.
>> Ghanians.
>> They have more rich people. They have more superstars in Nigeria. And we, a country of 30 million, DECIDED TO GO AFTER A COUNTRY of 240 plus million.
That is us. We Ghanaians, >> Ghanians, >> we don't mess around. SEE, WE ARE THE KIA. WE WENT AFTER ZAMBIA because they went after them. THAT IS US. IN OUR COUNTRY, ONE PERSON DECIDED TO GO AFTER ONE MAN CORRUPT CAPITAL AND IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS. THAT IS US. And you decided to mess with us. Oh, see at least the first 300 there have been people rushed into this. Julius MMA said the same thing. Ghana response South Africans are bad. We don't think Ghana responded in a manner that really reinforces dialogue and diplomatic engagements. It actually creates a very bad extreme situation which is not um it's a it's a selected few and uh we are pursuing and persuading government to still act on those uh few but you people are doing nothing so we are not going to sit idly by and see our people die in your [ __ ] country because say you don't want us to act as quick you want us to use diplomatic measures >> the Ghana Response was not necessary because it now creates an impression that we are all like that when it is certain section of our society that needs to be contained by law enforcement.
Not just attack by looting.
Was that done?
we shouldn't have also done that sometimes you know I understand how people insult people and one Ghanaian lady was saying you see the problem is and I wouldn't have taken this option the problem is we're being beaten in front of the police and the police are not doing anything they can't leave because they don't have the plaint take it fair.
They don't know how to kind of finalize their stuff there businesses be. So, you know, the government decided, okay, let me open the path.
And now you okay, you shouldn't have done that. That is just crap.
>> The reaction of government should have been uh you know uh postponed a bit to give us an opportunity to deal with what is happening here in South. So they were not going to tell us what to do or when to act government right now as they solve it the next day there will be a solution and anything in regards to foreign ministry that money doesn't like his office he doesn't want to sit in his office all the time so you know he acted we negotiated with the South African government that since we evacuating our nationals we don't want to leave anybody behind in prison and the South African government agreed with us >> 300 people another 610 register flight.
>> So what has happened now is that we going to come with two aircraft at the same time and so the numbers will increase and this this will cater for all everybody that has registered.
There'll still be an uh ongoing registration uh decks at the mission.
But what we have now um fortunately for us, the honorable minister has agreed that we should do two aircraft at the same time uh so that we can bring our compat back home. They going to get every package even the 5,000 cities alone to even the initial 860 something people. Now that was over 4 million Ghana cities. 4 million the government is just giving out to people back into the country. That is us. See that is where some of the South African companies they should have come together and says okay we are going to bear that cost and then so that is part of the reason why gold the government they don't want to renew it automatically. They want to renegotiate because back to the country, we will make sure as a South African companies, well, they got to pay. You think Ghana has spare money that we can use to go and charter planes and bring back and forth. If you are a good corporate citizen, you are a sensitive corporate citizen, if you are goldfields and your lease is due for renewal and we Ghanaians are going to sit down, look at you and decide whether to renew it or not, you better sit up.
The least you could have done was to say, "Oh, dear Ghana government, I see this problem. Sorry, I can't do anything about it, but here's some $2 million.
Please use it to create security and bring your people back." Nothing like that.
We also going to hire people something. And I'm sure say we will get there.
>> The decisions will be made by Mr. President and the powers that be. But I'm quite sure that even if you think I am being emotional or whatever it is, I am not alone. And it's a very popular position because we talked about South Africa messes up. It can mess up business making millions and millions and millions of dollars.
>> So if we give up what Bfield is giving us just to let them know that if you hit us where it hurts, we will hit you where it hurts. It will send a message.
>> But the good news is it's not just Ghana 5,000 tracks.
They are not going to allow it to pass through their country to get back to South Africa. As of early May 2026, Mozambican youth groups have planned shutdowns in response to anger over anti-immigrant operations in South Africa with social media alerts warning that only Mozambican vehicles may be allowed through that South African trucks could be denied entry or turned back if drivers do not speak the local language. It's fair enough.
You guys thought the youth of Mozambique are saying they not going to allow any South African track to pass through their roads because you know they built their roads.
So yeah, if you do me, I do you type thing.
>> South Africans say if you're not a South African, if you don't speak the language, you're not allowed in the country. Mosambicas said if you don't speak our language, you're not allowed on our roads. Go back to your country.
Use your own country's roads. Don't use our country's roads if you can't speak our native language.
>> Nigeria 61 billion. They say they want it back.
>> I need I need South Africans to be humbled. I really Oh, I'm praying for the day we get humbled as South Africans because papa and we're going to pay for it. You are so mean to non South Africans and don't think that there are no consequences for that.
the foreign nationals of all South Africa are up to 30th June to get out of their country. Yeah. So you know the government will be acting and we will see where that leads because South Africa government really doesn't care what they say. If they do care people looting causing this havoc and may they will stop them but they not doing that.
So you know >> you are so mean even to people that genuinely like and support our country.
A person could come to South Africa, enjoy Cape Town, enjoy Pumalanga and make a cute video speaking highly of mind you had a terrible reputation in the world. People don't want to travel to South Africa because they think that we have the highest crime rate. We hate women. Women are going to die in South Africa. When a tourist comes to South Africa and says I had a good time in Cape Town. Why are South Africans in the comments saying go back home? Why would you kick someone out? A guest who says hey I'm visiting and I think this country is very nice. And you go in the home and say like oh get out of my country. Don't tell your friends in in we need the money. You're crying about jobs. You're carrying about unemployment. But you treat tourists this way.
>> But Ghana South Africa if I'm not mistaken will seek reparation. So basically GH right now they going to seek for reparation and compensation. Yeah. They spent money, time, hours, their blood to open those businesses. Then you guys came up with this xenophobic nonsense decided to destroy their businesses loot and then you think it's going to go like that. We are Ghanaians on Twitter.
Put a compilation of Ghana go after South Africans because you know South Africans say they can you know doyama things on Twitter. They don't know us.
>> Ghanaians.
>> This guy posted on Twitter saying you'll never be South African get your brain tested. And then the response from say do I look like I want to dress like a turkey speeding even Ghanaians went wild at Zambia and you still decided to test Ghanaians over here we will give you PR all year long keep crying Ghanaians love your country too much even if you don't be heaven yeah that is true in Ghana versus South Africa being called black South African alone is a disgrace and loss of dignity. It means you don't own the lands and [ __ ] you have. Imagine calling me black Ghanaian. Adam, father, that land in the middle of the world is really blessed with gold, diamond, and beautiful people. What should we call them? GOD.
GHANA. CALL THEM GHANA. ADAM. OKAY.
FATHER, how about the empty-headed people I've gathered down there? What should I call that country? God. South Africa. Adam.
Go check it out. You know, interesting and funny.
>> South Africa is not the best thing after sliced bread. You need to stop acting like you don't need the world.
>> But the short and long form of this whole discussion and say South Africa for they didn't properly discuss or research Ghana. If they did, it won't reach this because Ghana we we don't care who you are. I'm saying Nigeria which is bigger than even South Africa.
We went after them because of Jolof.
Golov you think is you coming after our own people and we are going to let that slide. Oh yeah, I think again the heat send the goodness of it.
