When would Ghanaweb practice some decent journalism at all?
Do they really have editors in that shack they call an office?
What kind of unprofessionalism is this?
No professional journalist would exhibit the picture of an apparent dead soul at its website in this form!
Worst of all, did Ghanaweb ever consider the fact that it's most likely the next of kin----or the family members haven't been informed yet?

I really plead with Ghanaweb to remove the second pic. The man will have family and friends reading this and it is sad to show this image.

Those who published the picture must be primitive with hearts made of stone.There is no reason to publish all the gore there to prove their journalistic aptitude.

The Bad Govt of NDC has driven Ghanaians into exile and they are being treated like 2nd Class Citizens in a useless country like South Africa.

I`m not neither an NDC nor NPP supporter! Don`t say this because it`s not connected to politics. Ghanaians started travelling to other countries even during the time of Dr. Nkrumah when things were fine and ok with us. Kuffour and others in NDC did the same thing. Dr. Nkrumah sent Ghanaians out to developed countries to study, but after their studies they never returned. It`s sad to hear such bad stories involving Ghanaians in foreign countries although.

The government has no hand in the murder of the late Francis Boateng. coming December 2016,all Ghanians should vote massively for the ruling NDC for greater further development.

Before freedom, a person from Ghana wouldn't have even had opportunity to be a teacher there. Black people were treated like animals and banned from doing a lot of things.

It would be a national weakness to develop any hatred towards the entire S.African nation.

We don't have details of why he was killed and although it will not look pleasant, our govts must work hard to foster peace and understand and not anger.

Ghana must demand proper investigates though and South Africa for their good must do the best to address the worries.
This is not the first and it is not just happening to a Ghanaian. I can recount it happening to Nigerians, Ethiopians, British etc.
Ghanaians have also died in countries like USA, UK etc from sad circumstances.

S.Africa has a very high murder rate and I am sure it has its roots in the past and South Africa must look for answers.

This is not the time to hate a country we've fought hard to see liberated from the shackles of oppression.

To the family, I can't beginning to imagine the pain, the shame, the uncertainties, the broken dreams. I ask for God's fortitude for you. I am very sorry for you.

The bloodthirsty cowardly drunkard of a chief, the current Zulu overlord habitually incites violence against non-SA blacks. During the time of apartheid when the Afrikaner jackboot was on their necks, these SA blacks and I mean all of them, Xhosa, Zulu, Bapedi all of them escaped to other African countries to enjoy welcome and hospitability. Now led bya the criminal Zulu President Zuma, the Zulu are outdoing themselves in violence. This Zulu trbe that under The Great ELephant was the toast of Africa have now descended into the gutter and have become the worst ethnic or tribal group in Africa. The country as a whole is being destroyed by these kaffirs and one wonders whether they should have received self rule. Ghanaians and other Africans do not murder other Africans. When was the time ever that a person black or white was murdered simply because they were not Ghanain. Africans should stop going to that Gd-forsaken country and deport all South African blacks beck to their country. Brother Boateng please RIP.

It's so unfortunate how Ghanaians are ill treated in other countries when we treat them as kings on our own lands. This young man was killed so cruelly in this land of heartless beings. In South Africa where I live, murder is a normal occurrence. Life is not valued and anyone can decide to waste your life with impunity. Less than 20 percent of murder culprits are successfully prosecuted in this country. A beautiful country by the physical structures but a failed country by the quality of dignified living. Please dear foreign Minster, use your diplomatic relations to ensure action is taken to hold the murderers accountable. You see because he's a foreigner the police may not even follow the case. May the Lord help me to finish with my studies and leave this country.

My brother I live in Cape Town and schooling at the University of Cape Town. Countless number of people are murdered daily here and across other parts of South Africa. Yeah it's true crime exist in Ghana but tell me about how many murder cases do you hear of in Ashaiman. In Ghana a single murder case makes a big news. In South Africa it is just a normal way of life. Just three days ago in my very eyes, a taxi driver shot one Zimbabwean in Cape Town. Don't try to make it look as Ghana is deadly like SA.

SA's wage gap between the poor(mainly uneducated) and the rich is a bit like Ghana but their economy is 2000 times better than Ghana due to exports (I.E. MTN & Arms to many parts of W Africa).

Black south African will remain fool forever instead of working very hard and prosper in life. They become wicked.greedy and jealousy against their fellow Africans never mind the region they come from. And south African companies are so many in other African countries. African govt should team up and give real warning. They kill so many Nigerians becos they are lazy and kill those who are working hard everyday.
