Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has announced the return of 150 more Ghanaians from South Africa under the government’s voluntary repatriation programme following xenophobic attacks against foreign nationals.
Addressing the returnees at the Accra International Airport on Monday, July 27, Ablakwa welcomed them home and assured them of the government’s support.
“The latest evacuation marks the second phase of the initiative. The first phase, conducted months earlier, brought back about 900 Ghanaians from various parts of South Africa after they fled their homes due to the attacks.
In addition, he urged them to see their return as a homecoming rather than displacement, stressing a government committed to their safety and welfare.
