Some Ghanaian youths under the banner of the “South Africa Must Go” campaign on Thursday staged a peaceful protest in Accra, demanding that South African companies in the country be shut down.
The development, which followed the deadly xenophobic attacks in South Africa, has heightened tension in the country.
In a viral video, the protesters could be heard saying enough to the attacks on Ghanaian residents in South Africa.
The demonstrators were captured in the video carrying placards reading, “Ghanaian lives matter” and chanting slogans as they converged on the company’s premises.
The development comes weeks after Ghana and some other African countries, including Nigeria, began evacuating their citizens from South Africa amid rising tensions.
In Nigeria, the first batch of returnees arrived in the country on Thursday and were received by government officials, including Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Sola Enikanolaiye.
