Ghana’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Hon Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey, will be in South Africa today, Monday March 13, 2017.

The Minister’s visit comes in the wake of attacks on non-South Africans in recent weeks.

The visit will give the Minister the opportunity to ascertain at first hand, the events that led to the attacks and bring clarity to the issue of reported casualties.

She will also meet with the South African authorities and secure assurances about the safety of Ghanaians in the country.

Hon Ayorkor Botchwey returns to Accra on March 14, 2017.
