Watch as 'South Africa Must Go' protest reaches MTN Ghana Head Office

A group of protesters believed to be affiliated with the Ghana First Alliance have staged a demonstration at the headquarters of MTN Ghana in Accra, demanding action against South African-owned businesses operating in the country.

According to a video shared by @weloveghana042 and sighted by GhanaWeb on June 11, 2026, demonstrators marched peacefully to the telecommunications company's head office as part of a broader campaign targeting selected South African-owned enterprises in Ghana.

The protest, dubbed "South Africa Must Go," is reported to have been directed at MTN Ghana, DStv and Gold Fields' Tarkwa mining operations, with organizers calling for investigations into fees and operations, the closure of some businesses, and the non-renewal of certain leases.

Video footage from the demonstration showed protesters chanting slogans and carrying placards as they expressed frustration over the treatment of African migrants in South Africa.

“Chooo boi, chooo boi! Yen ani abre, yen ani abre koo,” protesters were heard chanting, a phrase in Twi expressing anger and frustration.

The demonstration follows Ghana's recent repatriation of nearly 1,000 citizens from South Africa amid concerns over anti-immigrant operations and reports of xenophobic attacks targeting foreign nationals.

The operations have reportedly been linked to activist groups such as March and March and Operation Dudula, which have campaigned against illegal immigration and foreign-owned businesses in South Africa.

Recent developments have sparked widespread debate in Ghana and across the continent, with many expressing concern about the safety of African migrants living in South Africa.

While some supporters of the protest view the action as a justified response to the treatment of Ghanaians and other African nationals in South Africa, critics have questioned the targeting of companies operating legally in Ghana.

As of the time of filing this report, neither MTN Ghana nor the other companies named by protesters had publicly responded to the demonstration.
