South African government accused of funding xenophobic attacks as 331 more Ghanaians leave

Another group of 331 Ghanaian nationals was taken to Oliver Tambo International Airport to be flown back to Ghana. Allegations have emerged that the South African government is funding xenophobic attacks targeting foreigners from other African nations, following President Cyril Ramaphosa's announcement of a crackdown on 'illegal immigrants'. Of those processed, 117 travelers had Ghanaian ordinary passports, 90 had Emergency Travel Certificates, and 37 minor children born in South Africa were processed. Immigration officials also processed 25 asylum seekers who voluntarily withdrew their applications.
