Ghanaians repatriated from South Africa after anti-immigrant protests
Passengers wait to be checked in as Ghana repatriates hundreds of its citizens from South Africa at O.R. Tambo International Airport in Kempton Park, South Africa, May 27, 2026.
Ghanaian nationals queued at Johannesburg's OR Tambo International Airport early on Wednesday to board one of the first flights home after waves of anti-immigrant protests in South Africa heightened safety concerns.
The group of 300 people included women and children, in what authorities described as a voluntary repatriation process for Ghanaian citizens who say they no longer feel safe.
