Guinea is right.
South Africa should be excluded from hosting future African Games. The ongoing threat of afrophobia and xenophobia within the country poses a direct danger to visiting athletes, staff, and fans.
There is a toxic narrative that foreigners (including sports participants and supporters ) are entering the country to take local jobs.
Because the safety of our teams cannot be guaranteed in an environment where people face hostility based on their nationality, international sporting bodies must protect African athletes by taking South Africa off the table as a potential host.

Furious over violent xenophobic attacks in South Africa, Ghanaian lawyer Andrew Appiah-Danquah and activist Solomon Owusu petitioned the Ghana Football Association on June 1, 2026, to force South African billionaire Patrice Motsepe out of his role as CAF President, but the push remains completely stuck because the GFA ignored the request while fighting its own local crisis to avoid a FIFA ban grin
