Ghana Protesters March Against South African Businesses Over Migrant Crackdown
The Ghana First Alliance organized the Thursday protest in Accra, targeting South African firms like MTN, DStv, and Gold Fields, demanding investigations, lease cancellations, and even nationalization due to South Africa's deportations of nearly 300 Ghanaians in late May and more since. Police kept the event peaceful by blocking access to the MTN office, while Ghana's government chartered return flights and promised support for deportees. Online views divided, with some South Africans noting the irony of targeting job-creating companies and Ghanaians calling the action misguided, highlighting strains in pan-African ties.
