Over 1,500 Ghanaians residing in South Africa have registered with their High Commission for repatriation to Ghana due to escalating anti-immigrant sentiment. The High Commission confirmed the registration numbers on Monday and is currently processing applications, temporarily pausing new registrations to manage the influx. These sentiments in South Africa are attributed to organizers citing high domestic unemployment, increasing crime rates, and strain on public infrastructure as key grievances. Anti-immigration groups have issued a June 30 deadline for undocumented foreigners to leave, threatening a nationwide shutdown if the government does not comply. Ghana's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a travel advisory urging citizens to avoid non-essential travel to South Africa.
