Ghanaian man in South Africa speaks
In the wake of these issues, another Ghanaian man in South Africa has shared concerns about his well-being.
The young man, who said in a video that he had been inundated with messages from people, disclosed that this was not the first time some locals in South Africa have staged protests seeking to confront African migrants in the country.
He, however, clarified that the actions of some individuals do not mean that all South Africans are demanding that Africans leave the country.
He added that, based on briefings received from the High Commission in South Africa, Ghanaians should remain indoors whenever such protests occur in order to avoid confrontation.
