For me it’s not even about the timing. I simply don’t believe that there should ever be an awards event for ministers.

“Don’t go to South Africa if you want to stay alive. The citizens will kill you if you do. Many people have been killed and are currently in the mortuary. South Africans are very envious. They are very lazy, yet they complain that foreigners are taking their jobs. For us ladies, the men are often angry because we do not find them attractive.”

— A Ghanaian woman who was part of the second batch of Ghanaians repatriated from South Africa described life in the country and advised people not to travel there if they value their safety, adding that many foreigners have been killed by South Africans in ongoing xenophobic attacks

Don’t ever let someone talk you out of your own potential. Your dreams are valid. Your ambition is enough. The only permission you need is your own.

Stay focused, stay relentless and let the results do the talking.

We kept our promise.

No Ghanaian has been abandoned in harm's way.

About a thousand Ghanaians have now been evacuated from South Africa by the Government of Ghana following the latest wave of xenophobic attacks.

Last night, it was a profound honour to welcome our fellow nationals with love, warmth and the pride of being a servant leader in a great country which does not forsake our citizens, particularly in time of distress.

But our work is far from over — we shall ensure reintegration with dignity, medical and psychosocial support, pursue compensation for those who have left properties and businesses behind, secure jobs for folks able to work and intensify our efforts towards achieving Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah's Pan-African dream of genuine African integration.

I commend dedicated staff of the Foreign Ministry; our High Commission in Pretoria; colleague ministers; senior government officials; partner state institutions including GAF, GACL, GCAA, NADMO, GIS, GPS; the IOM; Ethiopian Airlines and the media for the flawless and efficient execution.

We are grateful to Ghanaian CEOs for their remarkable partnership with us aimed at creating employment opportunities for our returning nationals.

God bless President John Mahama for his inspiring and outstanding leadership and guidance.

The Mahama Administration shall continue to defend the rights of our cherished citizens, serve with compassion and safeguard the welfare of ALL GHANAIANS.

For God and Country 🇬🇭 🙏🏾

Except maybe the love of God, you’re not automatically deserving of much in life. Most things worth having have to be earned or worked toward in some way. Want a good career? Work for it. Want a good partner? Work on becoming a good partner yourself. Something has to give.

🚨ICYMI🇬🇭🏆: The Greater Accra Regional Minister has won “Regional Minister of the Year” while her region was underwater this very week at the Ghana Ministers of State Excellence Honours.

3,000 streetlights later, the city’s still dark.

That’s not all.

“Best Deputy Minister” went to the Deputy Minister for Transport whose commuters are still stranded at the station(s) & junction(s).

Ghana Ministers of State Excellence Honours.

Read that title again. Lol.

[Minister: International Relations and Cooperation @RonaldLamola]

A deeply disappointing interview, replete with misinformation.

First, the claim that two Nigerians have been killed during the current wave of attacks remains entirely unsubstantiated by available information.

No Nigerian National
has been killed during the current waves of attacks in South Africa.

Second, it is untrue that five Mozambicans were killed. While there is an active South African Police Service investigation into the deaths of two Mozambican nationals, deaths we deeply regret, we trust that this matter will be thoroughly investigated, resulting in clear accountability and justice.

We once again convey our sincere condolences to the government and people of Mozambique.

We have cooperated fully with your High Commission to facilitate the necessary repatriation process.

It is therefore deeply strange that we are hearing for the first time, through this interview, that 15 Ghanaians are currently hospitalised. We have no information of that nature whatsoever. In fact, to date, the High Commissioner has not shared any information with us, not even regarding the single individual he previously discussed in media interviews.

Regarding what you have referred to as a “nuclear default” against South African companies: this will not be triggered by the recent attacks. The truth is, mere months into the new Ghanaian administration, the operating conditions for a number of South African companies had already been made untenable. I was compelled to write to you, my dear brother, alerting you to these challenges.

Be advised: I am prepared to publish that letter if its existence is denied.

Third, we reiterate the findings of our Department of Home Affairs and the Border Management Authority concerning the 27 May flight of 300 individuals. Of these, 25 came from the our deportation facility, transported by the Immigration Inspectorate of the Department of Home Affairs.

The remaining 275 were brought by the Ghanaian High Commissioner. Following an intensive check-in process, the travellers proceeded to BMA Immigration, where approximately 90% were found to be undocumented.

Consequently, the Ghanaian Embassy was required to issue them Emergency Travel Certificates, single-page, one-way documents permitting a traveller to return only to their country of origin. Furthermore, most of these travellers were found to have overstayed their visas by more than 30 days, with some overstaying by a year or more.

Let there be no misunderstanding: we will vigorously defend any frivolous or baseless lawsuit emanating from Ghana against South Africa.

Our initial hope was simply to assist the Government of Ghana in repatriating its citizens in a humane and cordial manner. However, we will not continue to tolerate this public spectacles, characterised by incomplete information and outright misinformation devoid of any diplomatic decorum.

Make no mistake: the South African government remains committed to regional integration.

We are, and will remain, open to discussing the push and pull factors relating to migration at a bilateral level, the African Union or any multilateral forum but Let us be factual in our engagements and not pander to unnecessary public spacteclaces that are devoid of any diplomatic decorum.

Having been on both ends of violence and hostility directed at migrants, Ghana has invaluable lessons to impart. We are ready to learn from your wealth of experience in this regard, including how Ghana has managed social tension while protecting, exclusively for Ghanaians, the very sectors in which Ghanaians in South Africa thrive.

As we have stated on numerous occassions, violence directed at migrants is an affront to our constitutional order. Our democracy is founded on the principle that none shall suffer discrimination on the basis of race, nationality, religion, gender or sexuality. As we navigate this complex and fluid situation, we are determined to uphold this promise.
