The Government of Ghana has postponed a planned high-level visit by Cyril Ramaphosa, citing growing concerns over recent xenophobic attacks targeting foreign nationals in South Africa.
According to reports, the visit, originally scheduled for early August, was put on hold after renewed anti-immigrant violence raised fears about the safety of Ghanaian citizens living in South Africa. Ghanaian officials said the unrest could overshadow the purpose of the diplomatic engagement and that protecting its citizens abroad remains a top priority.
The decision follows reports that hundreds of Ghanaians have either returned home or registered for repatriation amid the unrest. Ghana also expressed concern over the reported killing of a Ghanaian national, an incident it linked to the recent wave of anti-foreigner violence. However, South African authorities dispute that account, maintaining that the death was unrelated to the anti-immigrant demonstrations.
Despite postponing the visit, Ghana stressed that its diplomatic relationship with South Africa remains important. Officials from both countries are expected to continue discussions and arrange a new date once the security situation improves.
The development highlights growing regional concerns over recurring xenophobic incidents in South Africa, which have prompted several African governments to call for stronger protection of their citizens living in the country.
