Ghana postpones a planned meeting involving South African President Cyril Ramaphosa following recent anti-migrant violence in South Africa. Multiple reports say Ghana links the delay to concerns about the safety of African nationals, including Ghanaians, amid recurring incidents described as xenophobic attacks. Ghana’s foreign affairs minister Samuel Ablakwa is reported to have raised “strong concern” with South Africa’s acting high commissioner, Thando Dalamba, over intimidation and harassment of foreign nationals. The reports also note that Ghana began repatriating its citizens from South Africa in response to the unrest. Separately, Ghana’s government communications officials and South Africa’s presidential spokesperson both address claims about the nature of the delay: South Africa clarifies it did not receive a request to cancel or reject a state visit. Instead, reports say the issue concerns confirming arrangements for the third session of the Bi-National Commission, co-chaired by the two presidents. Ghanaian officials characterize the postponement as a deferment until there is “relative calm,” to ensure that current tensions do not overshadow discussions. Sources also stress that both countries maintain diplomatic relations.
