those were the anc people daughters and sons.

Other than that South Africans were studying home.

Mandela said thank you for the little help n big help what more do you all want? You want SA to bend over saying thank you?

You not gonna see that
The emboldened

You see your dumbness? No one has said anywhere that South Africans should give them a bouquet of flowers or a truck full of gold to appease them.

We are only reiterating what happen during Aparthied. Some of your leaders recognizes that and we are okay with that..

Stop projecting your insecurities and lameness on all South Africans. If you don't know a shit about Aparthied other Ssans do. You all do not have same level of intelligence nor dumbness.

Can someone please enlighten me? How did Ghana help SA during Apartheid? I don't get it.

@AfriqueDuZuid.. I Know where you're coming from. It won't reduce SA's reputation when you accept the fact that Ghana helped you - I know SA has played a big role in fighting apartheid, but even with that small participation of ghana by allowing your people to invest In their country, is something not to be overlooked.

@Vankelvin, Ghana didn't help SA. The fact that both countries are British colonies, it's important that you take note of the co-relationship. don't use it to STRING your jealous emotional antics. The only country that I know, which truly helped SA are Zambia, Tanzania, and the Soviet Union.

Black zombies in black nations should know peace. Don't demean other African countries because of the ego inflicted by whites. SA is not superior to Ghana and vice verse.

I know you hurt because you realize Ghana is not known as you thought, Ghana is not that important outside as you thought.

Ghana is tagged along with Nigeria, that's how it may be known. But general population know non about Ghana.

Other countries will be know by their bad deeds, others marathons, others illegal immigration.

You are known for soccer, other than that nah
You are the only one hurt here dude.
Get off your high horses and face reality.

There is no way all SSans will know everything about Africa or Ghana.
-There are some SSans who don't even know a country called Lesotho exists.
-Some don't know the number of provinces there are in SA.
-There also exists those SSans who can't mention names of at least 5 other African countries. I know you belong to that group so chill and stop making it look as if all Ssans are dumb and clueless.

The SSans I am referring to are those that are enlightened and level headed beings.. Those that took their education seriously.. They know a thing or two outside South Africa so keep quiet and move on.

Nah stop trying so hard, what's the desperation all about? You want south africans to massage your ego?

You want to be validated?

Why you trying so hard, to get appraisal? Is Ghana not enough to stand on its own thar you always have to tag "apartheid, we helped you" "we helped others" ENOUGH
Dude, don't you think you are mentally ill?

Who on this platform seeks for your validation, appraisal or what have you?
I mean *who are you* to validate what is supposed to be validated here?

As far as Aparthied is concerned, Ghana can't be overlooked. Your leaders haven't disputed Ghana's involvement in Aparthied so what you think isnt important so relax

It serves no purpose in south africa to know Ghana mines gold.


Why would south africans wanna know About n Kwame? Those who did history as major in high school might know about him. But ordinary south africans care less about African politics.

My point is their number is insignificant to mention, once upon a time it was high because we had a shortage.

I know this will infuriate you but it's the truth. I don't have to lie about the truth! No bad blood
When I say South Africans know A B C D about Ghana, I do not mean dead headed South Africans will know a shit.

Uptill now some Americans don't know Africa is a continent, but it does not also mean all Americans don't know Africa is a continent.

My comment was in a context so stop behaving like an ignorant dude.

Any well educated South African knows at least one or two other African countries that produces Gold apart from SA.

You brought the topic about slums,

Hope you know that hundreds of black South Africans were brought to Ghana and educated freely? There used to be a hostel close to the Accra airport filled with South African students schooling in Ghana, at Ghana’s expense! cool
This guy really has a problem( it could be an ego or mental problem).

He once said on this platform that he was doing his 2nd Degree.. If there is a History Department/faculty in his Uni he should go and beg one of the History professors there to tell him about Ghana's contributions to the fight against Aparthied, it will do him good.

2. An average south African does not know Kwame, south africans are not in to pan africa ism.
3. Few hundreds teachers were called in the 80s when south Africa needed more teachers, that was it. They are no more
4. GHANA is known for football in SA that's true
5. GHANA is not known for gold

Those are facts
Then you are a lame South African, facts

-You mean South Africans don't know Ghana as a Gold producing country? like serious?

-They don't know Kwame Nkrumah? Very funny grin..

-Few hundreds of teachers you say? like how many were you expecting?
Ten trillion teachers from Ghana I guess?

Funny he even added to his comment that they are no more grin.. Masa look sharp cos during the peak of COVID some Ghanaian Teachers(Lecturers included) in SA granted interviews to TV3 on Zoom grin cheesy

Ghana Bonobos...why did you go to school at you? Maybe you'd be world best cane rat hunter now -

Schools are organized into elementary(primary) schools, middle schools, and high (secondary) schools. ... Middle schools in the upper grade range (7-9) are sometimes referred to as junior high schools. Secondary or high schools enroll students in the upper grades, generally 9-12 with variation


The usual Kenyan lameness.

They know nothing outside their confines.. They always think the whole world does the same thing they do in their country.

I don't understand why you guys always show your primitiveness in any discussion?

Ghana is not Kenya so don't expect things to be same.

BASIC SCHOOL-- meaning from KG to Junior High school. They are run together. You need to pass BECE before progressing to SHS, Voc and Tech schools.

Breakdown of Basic schools in Ghana
-KG (nursery 1 to 2)
-Lower primary (from primary 1 to 3)
-Upper primary (from primary 4 to 6)
-Junior high (from JHS 1 to 3)

SHS, Vocational and Technical Schools are also run separately.
