Let's also push for other African countries to build better country for their people so they would be no incentive for them to impose themselves on the South African people and government. 🥱

Bold move from Ghana, and honestly, it’s completely justified. Let’s be real, if it were Nigeria, our government would probably approve the visit, host a 3-day lavish banquet for him, and then issue a "strongly worded" press release afterward. Good to see Ghana actually standing their ground smh.
The nigerian state don't place much value on it's citizens only the rich elites.

For me, Nigerian government needs to place Tariff sanctions on all South African companies products here in Nigeria and also place tariffs on Jet fuel exported to South Africa. Their economy will shout for it, their President will over night run here begging, then we do them the Ghanian rejection style.
Do you even know what you are asking for?

Tariff is to dissuade trades. Imagine tariff is placed on MTN, it means it will be more expensive for MTN to operate, it means they will find ways to make profit regardless, and they'll most definitely pass the cost to the Nigerian customers, you and I. If the tariff is too high and they can't continue to operate, they'll leave, like Shoprite, who's going to fill their void? Same goes for Multichoice, Standard Chartered and others.

Issue of tariff on jet fuel, that will only make the jet fuel more expensive for SA to buy from us, making them buy less of it, making us profit less from that trade. And if there is an alternative source cheaper than ours, they'll go for that, we would have successful lost that trade as well, and by implication loose revenue source.

How will that be beneficial to the common Nigerian?

SA is destroying themselves

Illegal immigrants should be sent back to their respective countries which is a good policy for any reasonable nation. SA citizens created this awareness and Government should responsible for sending the illegal migrants back with the help of the locals but no. the local threaten them to leave and government did nothing about it. if illegal migrants were only the one sent back it would have been better but legal migrants were badly affected and some lives were cut short, businesses and shops were looted. what are the foreign policies SA government outlined as regards to the countries affected?

1. First, this is Africa where people still conceive of jungle justice as a right of sorts. I remember Nigerians did pretty much the same thing to he Ghanians during the Ghana-must-Go protests. Second, the same SA government did nothing when the blacks threatened the white citizens with death and I don't recall Nigerians expressing outrage at the treatment of the white South Africans then. So, imagine me not surprised that the same people would dole the same treatment to other peoples. 🥱

2. What you described is crime and for that those impacted are to report to the authorities to get there issues quickly resolved. These sort of things are to be expected. Criminal elements will always try to take advantage of unrest no matter where on the planet . For this reason, countries have law enforcement to address the problem even then. 🥱

3. Countries affected how? What foreign policies? Where the people affected diplomats or something? 🥱

Every country has borders and laws. The same way no one has legal support to invade your home and impose themselves on you by that act, Illegal immigrants have no legal support to violate any countries borders and not expect to be booted out. If you can't see that, I can't help you. 🥱

And my initial comments was about the extra-judicials keelings that have been going on there in the name of sending illegals immigrants away and not the previous protest.... except of course if you can't read and comprehend English.

The relationship between Ghana and SA was already tensed even before the previous protest after their citizens were attacked and some lost their lives....the news was here yet you were pretending not to be aware of such events. undecided

Ghana has postponed a visit by South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa following xenophobic rallies that resulted in hundreds of Ghanaians being repatriated from his country.
Ramaphosa had long planned a visit to Ghana in the first week of August, and it had been hoped this would help de-escalate tensions between the two nations.
But many in Ghana feared his presence would lead to mass protests there. On Tuesday, government spokesman Felix Kwakye Ofosu told the BBC the visit would not happen for the time being.
''We sent them a communication indicating that it would be best to defer the visit in view of the present climate around xenophobia," he explained.
South Africa has sought to play things down, with presidential spokesman Vincent Magwenya telling the BBC of the country's unwavering commitment to "deepening cooperation" between the "two sister nations" and "advancing the African Agenda".
"The two countries will continue to engage through diplomatic channels to identify a mutually convenient date," he said.
He added that it was not a state visit - as Ghanaian officials have described it - but the third in a series of bilateral meetings.

He will soon visit Nigeria and FG will welcome him with open arms
Exactly what I'm lamenting about everything in 9ja is different can't they just sanction them too. The southies are going against unity in Africa imagine accepting whites but dislike blacks later they'll scream racism... Country talking shit on social media full of hate and doesn't value human life. If not that the leaders of Nigeria don't want to help this country. All these people won't see some of our citizens.

Is it all our men that's bleeping their babes or is it all wealthy ones that do crime or drugs. They enjoy this things themselves even from their movies they love freaky stuffs.

They should first accept blame image sending 60k Zimbabwean or so even trump isn't this harsh.
