Some South Africans were on Monday 13-04-2020 repatriated back to their country from Ghana.
The South Africans numbering 60 were said to be stranded in the country after they were caught up in Ghana’s 21-days mandatory lock down.
They were seen off at the Kotoka International Airport by Madam Lulama Xingwana, the South African High Commissioner to Ghana.
Madam Xingwana explained that their nationals were in Ghana to execute some projects, which had ended, but they were caught up within the lock down period of Accra.
She added that the South African Government had to negotiate with the Government of Ghana, for them to be repatriated by a special flight back home.
Madam Xingwana thanked the Government of Ghana for the support given.
She said upon arrival home, they would be made to undergo a 14-day mandatory quarantine to see if any of them is a potential career of the virus.
