Final repatriation phase begins as another batch of Ghanaians is expected to leave South Africa
Ghana's government began the final phase of its mass repatriation exercise on Saturday, July 25, with a fresh batch of Ghanaians expected to leave South Africa. This operation is part of a broader repatriation program for nearly 900 Ghanaian nationals who voluntarily registered to leave South Africa following xenophobic attacks. Ghana's High Commissioner to South Africa, Benjamin Quashie, announced the final phase on July 14, stating, "We are going to do the final repatriation of close to 900 Ghanaians who have voluntarily given their names here in South Africa that they want to go."
Mr. Quashie disclosed that about 926 Ghanaians had already been repatriated during earlier stages of the exercise. The remaining group of registered individuals would begin returning home from July 25, with flights scheduled to operate in phases until all those who requested assistance have been evacuated. The move was facilitated through the intervention of the Office of the President and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in response to concerns over the welfare of affected Ghanaians.
