Xenophobic attack: Titus Glover threatens to embark on demo if gov't renews Gold Fields' license

Titus Glover has warned that he will lead a demonstration if the government proceeds to renew the mining license of Gold Fields. He said, "If President Mahama renews the license, we will go on a demonstration."

Mr. Glover argued that Ghana must take a firmer stance in protecting its citizens and prioritising local ownership of key industries. He referenced Ghana's historical support for South Africa during its struggle against apartheid. He also expressed concern about the safety of African business owners in South Africa, referencing a video circulating on social media showing an alleged assault on a Zimbabwean shop owner. Mr. Glover claimed that South African authorities were not doing enough to protect foreign nationals. He supports handing over the Damang Mine to Ibrahim Mahama.

Mr. Glover stated that mining for 30 years is enough and that Gold Fields has gotten everything they wanted. He said he will come to the Jubilee House with his signboard in a "one-man show" if the license is renewed. He also blamed South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and his administration for failing to adequately address xenophobic violence.
