In a now-viral video, the young lady known on TikTok as @obaapa.one3 was spotted standing in plain view as she expressed gratitude to the government of Ghana and its people for speaking up against the treatment she claims to have been meted out to foreign nationals in South Africa.
According to her, she initially did not want to react to what was going on, but had to address claims that the viral video of a Ghanaian man being subjected to rude treatment by an anti-migrant group in South Africa was a one-off involving a Ghanaian national.
Recounting her ordeal, the Ghanaian woman said she was at her workplace recently when she heard a loud noise outside.
Initially uninterested in what was happening, she said her luck ran out after she was accosted by members of the anti-migrant group when she left her workplace to attend to nature’s call.
Looking visibly sad, the Ghanaian lady alleged she was subjected to beatings and slaps, adding that not even pleas from her boss to convince the individuals that she had legal documents to stay in the country were accepted.
She added that she eventually spent a day in police custody and that it took the intervention of a lawyer to secure her release.
At the time of writing this report, the video had gained over 2,000 likes and 90 comments.
