He stated, "It is now clear that the attacks are being perpetrated by the South African government and people."
The Akwatia MP said that if South Africa no longer wants foreigners within its borders, the government should openly communicate that position. He expressed disappointment in the silence of international bodies, including the African Union, over the attacks. He referenced Africa's historical support for South Africa during the apartheid era.
Mr. Bediako expressed concern about the safety of foreigners currently living in South Africa. He said that any evacuation effort by governments would likely have to be voluntary, explaining that "you cannot force everyone to move."
