SA xeno attacks: Reports of new Ghanaian deaths false – Ahwoi
Ghana’s High Commissioner to South Africa Kwesi
Ahwoi has dismissed reports that four Ghanaians
have been killed in the homophobic attacks in the
rainbow nation.

He has, also, denied rumours that Ghanaian
immigrants are stranded as a result of the
attacks.

Reports are rife that Ghanaians residing in the
former apartheid nation are desperately looking
for ways to return home as the attacks on black
foreigners degenerates.

But speaking to Abena Owusu Nyamekye Saturday, the
former Interior minister said such reports are
false and do not represent the exact situation on
the ground.

“We have been in touch with all Ghanaians
through the various associations that they have
here and they have been cooperative.

“Apart from the initial reported death that we
have put out already, there haven’t been new
cases.

“In all, six people all over, have been reported
killed but only one Ghanaian has been recorded,”
he stressed.

Foreign nationals in South Africa are being
attacked by locals claiming the foreigners have
taken over their jobs.

The Nigerian government has threatened to
frustrate the interest of South Africa in Nigeria
if the attacks do not end.
