Ablakwa says Ghana could evacuate more citizens from South Africa if the situation worsens

Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has said that Ghana remains prepared to evacuate more of its citizens from South Africa should the security situation deteriorate.

The Minister, however, called on South African authorities to take stronger measures to prevent further attacks against foreign nationals and ensure the safety of migrants living in the country.

The Minister said the developments were partly linked to a recent ruling by South Africa’s apex court concerning asylum seekers.
