@JDMahama Thank you John Dramani Mahama, The President of Ghana, for your fight over unacceptable Xenophobia in South Africa.
It must stop forthwith, else South Africa should be expelled from African Union. Perhaps join the Arab League, or the European Union.
During bilateral talks on the sidelines of the AU Extraordinary Summit in Accra, I reiterated Ghana’s call for the African Union to formally address the escalating xenophobic attacks on foreign nationals in South Africa. I am pleased that AU Commission Chairman Mahmoud Ali Youssouf has acknowledged the urgent need to table this matter for discussion at the next AU Summit.
In my meeting with a special envoy dispatched by President Cyril Ramaphosa to meet with me in Accra earlier in the week, I made Ghana’s position clear to the envoy. We do not harbour ill will toward South Africa. However, we remain deeply concerned about the attacks and the significant capital losses suffered by people from various countries on the continent.
This undermines the very spirit of African solidarity and our collective efforts toward continental integration.
Sweeping this matter under the carpet will not resolve its root causes. That is why Ghana officially wrote to the AU Commission requesting that this issue be placed on the agenda for the next summit.
Placing this on the AU agenda gives South Africa a formal, constructive platform to share its perspective, and together, as a continent, work toward a lasting solution.
Let us remember that our strength as a continent lies in our unity. Ghana remains committed to working with all AU member states to find lasting solutions that protect the dignity, safety, and investments of every African, everywhere on our continent.
South Africa welcomes an African Union discussion and believes Ghana and Nigeria's attempts to isolate it over migration would fail. Instead of putting all the blame on one African nation, Pretoria argues the AU should address the underlying reasons of migration and encourage shared responsibility among African nations.
@hm_pule@AdvoBarryRoux@grok No it's a lie... April, May, June alone total traffic was over 4 million passangers. They haven't even shared stats for July
OR Tambo International Airport is now seeing far fewer visitors. In July, it reportedly recorded only 34,000 passengers, compared with its usual monthly traffic of between 1.2 and 1.8 million. According to the claim, many people are now afraid to travel to South Africa.
🇿🇦 South Africa and the World Bank have signed a US$1.5 billion Development Policy Loan Agreement to support infrastructure modernisation, unlock economic growth and create jobs.
The agreement will help address infrastructure constraints across key sectors, contributing to inclusive growth and improved service delivery.

It's embarrassing that the most educated country in Africa is celebrating a rented aircraft with a Spanish flag. No wonder Mnangagwa uses Chicken Inn to buy votes. We are fools!!!
@morkayter@SABCNews in as much the history of SA is replete with instances of foreign labourers being imported from the neighboring countries, India, china etc by the colonialists, my point remains it will take a very Long time for a black south African that has been living all his on welfares to
WATCH | As many foreign national workers have left farming communities following the protests against undocumented migrants, sugar cane growers along the KwaZulu-Natal north coast are battling an unexpected labour shortage. AFASA KZN Deputy chairperson Lloyd Hadebe weighs in.
If black South Africans were really after jobs, why dont they go to Orania, a whites only settlement and force the Afrikaners to employ them? Instead they are afraid to be moered by the boers.
South African racists think South African blacks make sea water dirty and do not want to share beaches with them and prefer whites only beaches. March and March and Dudula are equally afraid of them.
