Key Points

  • Ghana's High Commission in South Africa has issued a safety advisory to its citizens.
  • The warning pertains to planned demonstrations in Pretoria on April 28 by the March Organisation.
  • Protests are expected to address immigration-related grievances, particularly impacting residents and business owners in Pretoria.
  • Ghanaians are advised to avoid protest areas, close businesses temporarily, and refrain from participating in public gatherings.
  • The advisory also cautions against maintaining a high profile or sharing provocative content on social media.

It underscores the Ghanaian government's commitment to protecting its nationals abroad and managing potential diplomatic or humanitarian issues arising from anti-immigrant protests.
