    Don Quixote!!! Were our brothers and sisters attacked in South Africa by employees or agents? What part did the company play in the unfortunate attacks?
    Why don’t we ask for compensation from the South African government?

    Excellent idea to reject the support. The price for xenophobic attacks is way beyond cash!

    This will send a strong signal to the Government of SA that we mean business on this matter.

    Patrick is the foremost NPP politician I respect but disagree with his perspective on the matter.
    For once, Ghana must assert her dignity at least among her African peers.
