Reneilwe Morema reports on government of Ghana preparing to take legal actions against South Africa for the ”unlawful” repatriation of their citizens.
Ghana is actively preparing legal and diplomatic action against South Africa to seek accountability and compensation for victims of recent xenophobic attacks and anti-immigrant unrest. The Ghanaian government has stated that the repatriation of its citizens is not the end of the matter and is demanding financial restitution for lost properties and businesses.
Several hundreds of Ghanaians were repatriated to Accra on emergency flights after their homes and businesses were targeted in South Africa. The Ghanaian government says they are actively compiling a database of assets and losses incurred by its nationals.
