A troubling new development has emerged for Ghanaians living in South Africa.
According to a viral video posted by a Ghanaian resident in South Africa, all Ghanaians in the country have been given just 13 days to sell off their properties and leave.
The announcement has reportedly left many frustrated and fearful.
This latest move comes in the wake of heightened xenophobic tensions in South Africa.

A nationwide shutdown was even called for May 4, 2026, under the slogan “Send the foreigners home
While it remains unclear whether the 13-day ultimatum is an official government directive or a threat from xenophobic groups, the video has raised widespread concern among Ghanaians both at home and abroad.
Many have urged the government to step in and verify the claims, as well as ensure the safety of its citizens in South Africa.
