Xenophobic attacks: Ghana's response was not necessary - Julius Malema [Video]
Julius Malema has raised concerns about Ghana's handling of recent tensions involving its nationals in South Africa, saying "The Ghana response was not necessary, and it now creates a perception that we are all like that." He made these comments to the press.
Malema's comments follow Ghana's evacuation exercise, which has repatriated about 300 Ghanaian nationals from South Africa due to reported xenophobic attacks, intimidation, and rising insecurity. The operation has been coordinated through Ghana's diplomatic mission and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Malema said that diplomatic engagement would have been the better route. He added that discussions were still ongoing with relevant stakeholders to stabilise the situation and protect affected foreign nationals, including Ghanaians. He also emphasized that legally documented migrants should be able to seek protection from law enforcement.
The debate continues alongside Ghana's ongoing evacuation and reintegration programme for returnees, which includes reception support and plans for longer-term resettlement assistance for affected citizens.
