Xenophobic attacks: South African government's response worrying - Titus Glover
Titus Nii Kwartei Glover criticised the South African government on Monday, May 25, on JoyNews's AM Show, describing its response to recent xenophobic attacks against foreign nationals as "disappointing and inadequate." He said that authorities in South Africa had failed to take proactive steps to protect foreign nationals, including Ghanaians, amid growing concerns over attacks on migrants. He also alleged that authorities had failed to intervene in some incidents involving foreign nationals, stating, "You see Ghanaians being beaten, and they stand aloof and watch."
Mr. Glover's comments come as the first batch of Ghanaians in South Africa is expected to return home on Wednesday. He expressed concerns that many Ghanaians living outside major cities such as Pretoria and Johannesburg may be left out due to transport and accessibility challenges. He questioned, "Even access to public transport to reach the embassy to register is a problem. So how do you reach these people?" He also said, "President Cyril Ramaphosa has disappointed some of us. The South African government has not been up and doing."
Mr. Glover called on President John Dramani Mahama to reconsider the operations of South African mining companies in Ghana, suggesting he would oppose the renewal of their licences. He said, "I will appeal to President Mahama that next year the licences of those South African companies should never be renewed." He added that he would support demonstrations over the issue and was prepared to personally join protests if the situation persists.
