Africa2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported34m ago
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Ghana has assured the public that the country will not reimburse South Africa for the repatriation of Ghanaian nationals who were evacuated following xenophobic attacks. This clarification follows demands made by the South African government regarding the costs of evacuating foreign nationals.
Simultaneously, similar financial demands by Pretoria have drawn regional pushback. In Nigeria, former Enugu State House of Assembly member Denge Josef Onoh has rejected a reported demand by South Africa for Nigeria to reimburse approximately $18.5 million (R292 million) for repatriation expenses, calling for a diplomatic review of the costs incurred.
