Ghana has petitioned the African Union to discuss recurring xenophobic attacks in South Africa at its June 2026 summit, calling for investigations, dialogue and stronger continental action.
The Government of Ghana remains deeply concerned by the recurrence of xenophobic incidents in the Republic of South Africa, which have regrettably resulted in the loss of lives, destruction of investment and continue to pose serious risk to the safety and well-being of many African nationals residing in South Africa.
