The first group of Ghanaian nationals is set to be repatriated from South Africa following recent anti-immigration protests in the country.

The repatriation comes after demonstrations against illegal immigration that have raised concerns about a potential resurgence of xenophobic violence in South Africa.

South Africa has a history of xenophobic attacks against foreign nationals, particularly those from other African countries. The recent protests have heightened fears among immigrant communities about their safety and security.

Details about the number of people being repatriated and the specific timeline for their departure were not immediately available. The repatriation appears to be a precautionary measure in response to the deteriorating situation for foreign nationals in the country.
