Around 800 people from Ghana have said they want to leave amid heightened anti-immigrant sentiment in South Africa.
While South Africa grapples with its xenophobic demons, Ghana's swift repatriation response exposes the tragic irony of a continent still eating its own children decades after independence. This isn't just about 800 displaced Ghanaians. It's a damning indictment of how quickly Pan-African solidarity crumbles when economic anxiety meets political opportunism. If we can't protect intra-African migration, how do we expect to build the integrated economies that will make us globally competitive?
