@Dzungie007 @kabelodick Didn't I say this in the morning

@MoiponeSenoe @GhanaMFA Lol even yesterday

@GhanaMFA But what changed in 2 days, and why did the ministry inform the citizens that the plans have changed? x.com/i/status/20563…

@GhanaMFA You posted this yesterday afternoon. Now you release a statement of changes hours after your supposed flight has already supposedly departed. you're just saving face from public humiliation

@ghanaboynie @S_OkudzetoAblak Chief this was posted yesterday, you dont change plans hours after the supposed plane has already departed, this is just saving face from embarrassment

To whom it May Concern 🙏🏾 From our Honorable @S_OkudzetoAblak #Ghana #Southafrica #Africa #World #Unity #Migrants

@Nwinks6 @AfricaFactsZone Lol changed hours after the plane was supposed to have left. This post from yesterday

Only one Ghanaian showed up for the free flight to evacuate Ghanaians based in South Africa back home. The Ghanaian Government offered to provide free flights for 300 Ghanaians willing to leave South Africa.

@Chanel2797632 @MDNnewss This is yesterday's post. They're just trying to save face from the embarrassment. That post you shared should've been posted days before, not hours after the plane had supposedly left

Ghana’s Evacuation Flight Leaves South Africa with Only One Passenger A government-chartered evacuation flight arranged by Ghana to repatriate up to 300 of its citizens from South Africa amid heightened anti immigration protests took off from OR Tambo International Airport today, Thursday with only a single passenger on board. The early-morning departure, scheduled for around 5 a.m. on May 21, 2026, was part of an emergency operation announced by Ghana's Foreign Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa earlier in the week. Following reports of anti-immigrant protests and alleged harassment targeting foreign nationals, particularly from other African countries, Ghana's government had registered distressed citizens at its embassy in Pretoria and pledged a fully funded flight, along with reintegration support including financial aid, transport, counseling, and job opportunities upon return. Despite the incentives and prior claims of hundreds of registrations, journalists at the airport encountered only one Ghanaian national in the departure area by early morning. The lone traveler, identified as 22-year-old Sylvester Boakye, arrived the previous evening in hopes of securing a spot. He told reporters he had been working in a salon in South Africa and held an asylum seeker permit. He expressed relief at returning home. The low turnout has sparked online discussion and questions about the scale of the perceived threats. South African authorities have denied widespread xenophobic violence, describing circulating videos as fake or isolated criminal acts, while acknowledging community frustrations over unemployment, migration, and service delivery. Ghanaian officials have indicated the evacuation program remains active, with potential for additional flights if demand increases or security concerns escalate. The episode highlights the complex realities of African migration and the challenges of balancing safety advisories with citizens' decisions to stay in host countries.

You are just embarrassed that one person showed up. This was posted just yesterday 🤣🤣🤣

@Bundu_Man @QueenBeeXyz @AmeyawTV @AmeyawDebrah ahh only seeing the blue tick on your bio now. makes sense mumu boy!

He just wanted to return home 😢 According to reports, this young Ghanaian barber was the only person who showed up at the South African airport for the evacuation flight meant to bring Ghanaians home. #ameyawtv

@abigailpedy @Sthembi19281518 @EiiScanty

@Sthembi19281518 @EiiScanty They’d update them nd when nd where they should come

the 300 Ghanaians who were arranged by the Ghana Government to return home from South Africa due to the Xenophob!c attacks, per reports in SA, only one person showed up at the airport this morning. ei

@PancrasMalani @IOL He said he's a barber on asylum since 2024. Which war or persecution was he running away from Ghana ?

@IOL As a media house, go find out why. How do you expect someone who has invested his whole life in a country, who maybe is married to a South African, who has a business or a job, who has maybe become naturalised and who may have nothing to claim back home, just leave like that.

At O.R. Tambo International Airport, 22‑year‑old Sylvester Boakye was the only Ghanaian found in the departure section after his government announced a free charter flight for 300 nationals wanting to return home amid xenophobic threats in South Africa. Having lived with fellow Ghanaians in Pretoria, Sylvester was relieved to go back, but after arriving at 20h00 on Wednesday he discovered by 06h00 Thursday that no other expatriates had appeared for the scheduled 05h00 flight and no officials were available to provide answers. iol.co.za 📷: Timothy Bernard / Independent Media #ORTamboInternationalAirport #flight #Ghana #return #xenophobic #threats

@ghanaboynie @JRatabane

@JRatabane Yes it’s too early and I don’t want to conclude yet , let’s wait for more news

Everyone tagging me only one Ghanaian showed up at the airport ? maybe there’s a mixup somewhere. Per the guys Story He went there on his own and not through the registered Scheduled Embassy plans of the confirmed 300 . Probably he didn’t know where they will be Assembled for the scheduled trip , they won’t just come to the Airport with open faces . He should have contacted the Embassy First , But Glad with his speech .HE WANTS TO CONE HOME 🏠 #Ghana #Africa #southafrica #Migration #World

Ghana arranged an evacuation flight ✈️ from South Africa to Ghana and only ONE person showed up at OR Tambo International Airport.🙆🏼‍♀️

Ghanaians are expected to start leaving the country, claiming they may be targets of xenophobia. Their government announced that the first batch of 300 people will be taken home today. However, only 1 person has been seen so far for the flight that was due to take off by 5am. @NqobileMadlala_ speaks to the Ghanaian. Watch: tinyurl.com/46spu9y3

Africa stand up for the toddlers‼️

@efoavugah @ThePromiseCFC @AfricaFactsZone You are way worse than savages. You starved them, denied them toilet paper and blankets after inviting them. We chase away uninvited guests who are illegal in the country

@ThePromiseCFC @AfricaFactsZone we're not savages like them, so we'll show them love even though they chase us out
