FRANKIE, I don't know where you live but since Trump came, over 2.5 million people have voluntarily left the US, and the number is growing on daily basis. Right now, all green card holders have to go their home countries to renew their residency which had added another headache to the migraine he had inflicted on migrants in the US.

What is going on is a message that we should stay put, work hard to make Ghana a better place.

There's every indication, the SA government id behind this, the silence and inaction alone is more than any evidence one can produce. The sad part is unlike the US, the SA is only targeting Africans. Imagine every other African country decide to allow vigilantes to target SA people in their country. This backwards behaviour must be condemned and never be compared to what is happening in the US. Incomparable. Their government is a disgrace. Henceforth I have changed my mind on the apartheid era. What they did was the right thing considering the kind of black we are seeing now.

@ Frankie:
THE COUNTRY SOUTH AFRICA ITSELF SITS ON A TIME BOMB: AND I WANT TO WARN THOSE STUPID AND NAIVE BLACK SOUTH AFRICANS TO TAKE THE REALITY CHECK ON WHAT MAY BEFALL THEIR COUNTRY IN FUTURE AND STOP THEIR STUPIDITY!

MY WORDS MAY SOUND VERY HARSH BUT I’M CONCERNED ABOUT HOW THESE NAIVE PEOPLE HAVE IGNORED THEIR MAIN PREDICAMENT AND LOOKING ELSEWHERE.

Yes, as far as I don’t agree with the Mahama’s government on several issues, South Africans should beware of how they treat Ghanaians in their country. Because we have seen it before with Nigerians, Ivorians and other West African countries. Ghanaians in general like to take opportunity in relocating to countries they find as more conducive than our country. It happened in the 70’s and 80’s at the time our country was going through hell under military dictatorships. Now those countries who hosted Ghanaians and treated us bad have themselves become immigrants in Ghana right now . So South Africans should beware of how they are treating Ghanaians.
Permit me to say that the country South African and its people are “Greens” or “Green Horns”, they are just emerging from total servitude under the white minority regime. Which is why they may not understand certain issues that may make them regret their actions in the future.

I have never been there but listening to people who have paid visits to that country gives me the notion that the black people in that country lack a lot of experience in solving their own issues: particularly the majority black communities and their ruling government . Otherwise they would never make other African immigrants in that country their own nemesis or targets . Especially considering the fact that most of these African immigrants are only there to make ends meet at the time their prospective countries couldn’t give them a meaningful living.

I want to make it clear to South Africans and their naive leaders that their country sits on a “Time Bomb”. It’s been long time since I read some articles that revealed or suggested that some of the White South Africans want to secede from that country and form their newly independent territory .

Whether the South African leaders believe it or not they should be very careful in venting their spleen on other African immigrants in that country instead of taking the steps to prevent the potential breakup of their country. Those rich white South Africans in US and other advanced countries are said to be planning to seize some greater portion of that country and declare the territory out of bounds to the majority black South Africans. And trust me — as far the article gave details, their main concern stems from how the other African countries can mobilize forces through the AU (Africa Union)and take them or quash their efforts. And trust me that very concern might be one of the reasons why they have been unable to put their plans into action.

These black South Africans and their government should take a cue from what was reported to the American government after President Trump was sworn in, the reason the Trump administration has given amnesty to the White Minority settlers in that country to relocate to America with visas and staying permits. The only people out of the entire global community who have been given that privilege. Now there’s no doubt that Ghana is the leader of the entire African Continent, though there are countries whose economies and systems are more developed than the Ghanaian system but when it comes to which country is more influential in the black countries both on the mainland Africa and the diasporas no one can dispute the fact that Ghana controls a lot of respect and support among all the black countries.

So now if the White Minority settlers in that country decide to go with their plans as I read in that article who will support these stupid and naive black South Africans to stand against the more rich and well prepared potential white military aggression? They should be very careful oooo! I rest my case. I SHALL RETURN!

There are only only few thousand Ghanaian in South Africa. Bring them back. My question is: why do we have so many lawless and undesirable Nigerians in every nook and cranny in Ghana.? Let us kick these vermin out. They can shout Xenophobia as much as they like. In their own 4ucking country, an Igbo cannot even move from Enugu to go and live in Maduguri or Katsina or Kano. Equally, intolerant Namdi Kanu will do not want Huasa to live in Oweri or Calabatr. Why do we need them in Ghana? They can all 4uck right 4ucking off for all I care.

These are some of the reasons one should not quit his/her job and go out to seek greener pastures afield because of uncertainties like this. The same reckless attitude is going in the US under the Trump administration and since coming to power with his anger against immigrants, over 2.5 million people have voluntarily left the country.

There is no place like working in your own country because nothing of this sort will ever come up. How many people left the jobs to go SA and not this.

Even yesterday the useless ANC secretary general Fikile Mbalula came out with a statement supporting the thugs who are agitating against fellow African nationals, to tell you the true ANC and its leaders are behind all these things in the country, so nobody must be deceived that ANC new nothing about the agitations, they are the people sponsoring the disgruntle groups doing all these nonsense, I lived in south Africa and I am also waiting to be evacuated very soon to come home, the deadline given to foreign nationals to leave on 30th June was demarcated by the leaders of ANC, Trust me guys I know what I am talking, that deadline gonna be brutal if other nations in Africa failed to evacuate their citizens, they are very much serious about that guys,

NOT THE FIRST TIME!

Please brothers and sisters, don’t go to South Africa again! This is is not the first time Ghanaians have been evacuated from that cursed land. Evacuations occurred under both Kufuor and Mills. With the exception of Julius Malema and his EFF movement, the South Africans have become brain-damaged and infected with the virus of apartheid! The ANC has become notoriously súper-corrupt and is behind all this afrophobic vigilante violence to distract attention from its monumental incompetence and failure to improve the lives of South Africans. Cyril Ramaphosa - the shameless Butcher of Marikana - only cares about hiding millions of dollars in his mansion while maintaining economic apartheid for the benefit of his white collaborators.

I hope the Government will roll its sleeves and go to work to create job avenues in Ghana. We don't want to keep hearing how much they have brought down the rate of inflation, how much we have in foreign reserve, etc. What we want are jobs. Where are the import substitute industries to warrant a 24 hour economy? Where are the big farms to absorb the excess labor? Why are we not even producing milk internally and keep importing milk and other dairy products? Why no modern slaughter houses (as in Botswana) to give the youth employment avenues? Why no massive housing projects to give people jobs? Mahama please wake up and get to work.

@Agbelimor. Fix your country Ghana. It is as simple as that. People have stolen so much money from the state and so far not a single person has been prosecuted and jailed. They scratch each others back and keep the masses poor. So please don't blame South Africans if they ask us to go home and fix our country and stay there. Look at the floods in Accra. Almost 70 years since independence we cannot construct drainage systems to avoid flooding in our cities. Our roads networks are one of the poorest in Africa. Massive unemployment across the country. Not to mention our deteriorating health care system where patients are turned away for lack of beds. No wonder people are running away from the country.

After they have driven out all their fellow Africans that is when South African Blacks will be confronted with the ugly and bitter truth about their real situation. Will deep fissures that plague South African society eventually lead to that country descending into an internecine civil war? Possibly. That outcome is not so farfetched as some may think. For now, Black South Africans are scapegoating fellow Africans but once these are out of the picture, we can expect them to turn on each other. This is not a prediction one enjoys making but the seeds for this have already been baked in and all that is required is for some crazy "leaders" or activists to redirect their ire from fellow Africans to the political leaders of the day and thereby fan the flames of discontent and strife. No doubt malign foreign state powers would then step in and exploit the situation massively. Due to S Africa's longstanding multi-fissured ethnic divisions that country is sitting on a powder keg which could easily ignite with little warning. THESE ARE THE ISSUES WHICH SHOULD BE KEEPING THE POLITICAL LEADERSHIP OF SOUTH AFRICA AWAKE AND IMPELLING THEM TO URGENTLY ADDRESS THE DEEP AND PERVASIVE ECONOMIC PROBLEMS THAT ARE WORSENING BY THE DAY. ONCE THE “AFRICAN ALIENS” ARE FORCED OUT, THE FRUSTRATED AND DISENFRANCHISED BLACK POPULACE WILL BEGIN TO TURN ON THEIR OWN LEADERS.
