About 300 Ghanaian nationals depart South Africa on Wednesday, leaving from OR Tambo International Airport as anti-immigration protests continue to escalate. The repatriation is described across outlets as voluntary, with the first group responding to Ghana’s and/or relevant government arrangements for people seeking safety and stability amid the unrest. Al Jazeera reports that Ghana welcomes the first group fleeing the protests, noting that the move follows a broader wave of anti-immigration demonstrations in recent weeks across South Africa. IOL likewise says the nationals accepted a voluntary repatriation offer and begin their departure on Wednesday morning. The reporting focuses on the initial outbound flight and the government-led effort to help nationals return home voluntarily while tensions remain high. All accounts present the repatriation as a first batch rather than a completed evacuation, and they tie the decision to the ongoing protest situation affecting immigration-related communities.
