The latest group forms part of the government's ongoing evacuation exercise for Ghanaians affected by renewed anti-immigrant attacks and insecurity in parts of South Africa.

The government had earlier approved the evacuation of hundreds of Ghanaians who registered with the country's High Commission in Pretoria following reports of xenophobic violence targeting foreign nationals.
