Ghana: Xenophobia - Ghana Rejects MTN's Donation for Affected Ghanaians
[Premium Times] Ghana said it had already made adequate financial provision for the evacuation and reintegration of affected Ghanaian citizens.
Ghana has rejected a donation of GH¢20 million from MTN, a South African telecommunications company, to help repatriate and integrate Ghanaian citizens affected by recent xenophobic attacks in South Africa. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the government had already made adequate financial provisions for these efforts.
Over 1,500 Ghanaian citizens have been evacuated from South Africa since April, with more batches slated for repatriation. Despite the offer, the government expressed gratitude for MTN's gesture but declined, emphasizing its commitment to supporting the affected citizens. The government also intends to share the full details of the evacuation and reintegration costs with the public once the process is complete.
