History of xenophobic incident is now repeating itself in far away SA where Ghanaians' descendants of xenophobic, stupid, wicked and demented Asshanti Kofi Abrefa Busia, are now having the taste of their fore fathers' ACO xenophobic attacked of their fellow Africans in the 60s (where Ghanaians HEARTLESSLY AND WICKEDLY expelled their fellow Africans, mostly Nigerians from Ghana and stole their properties with impunit).

Ghanaians should always have it at the back of their that the law of 'KARMA' is no respecter of no one. Not even the descendants of satanic Asshantis METI MEHU ALL DIE BE DIE VIOLENCE. What goes around always comes around.

Ghanaians and other African countries contributed immensely to defeat the white apartheid regime in South Africa and now the mostly Zulu warmongers are baiting for the blood of Black Africans who helped them to achieve independence.

They leave Ghana for the so-called green pastures and then beg the government to bring them home. Go buy your own airline ticket and come home.

They want everything free. None of them paid taxes to the state. Yet they want services. Of course the media and the opposition party will champion their cause.

There are lots of people from all over Africa, especially from Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Madagascar, Nigeria, Zambia and Ghana, all there to take advantage of South Africa's rapid development. South Africa has started facing their version of dumsor, because of the incompetence of the Zuma administration.
All these African migrants must pack and leave South Africa and go back to their countries.

White South Africans are encouraging Black South Africans to take back their land.
President Zuma's hands are tied.

As in many cases, we agree here. Many times I have wondered what kind of people the Africans are, especially black Africans. I don't know about the Arab Africans, but the black African is just something. I have asked myself many times, why the Whiteman in spite of their different countries can unite while we can never unite. We are our own enemies. And you imagine when one arrives from a trip to the Hall of Arrival at the Kotoka International Airport, the whites are better treated and handled by the Immigration Officers there than the blacks are. Why? Why? This must stop if at all we are to progress. Anyone who has suggestions for the way forward should come to our aid.

Borehole water is dangerous for the underground system of Ghana. Too many of it can cause the underground water to dry and turn Ghana into a desert.It is not sustainable.

That's an important fact often ignored. It's also an important asset in times of real drought & has built up over millions of years. Water conservation is the only viable solution

When Ghanaians travel abroad, including myself, they don't report and register themselves with the Ghana Embassies abroad. But as soon as they find themselves in problem/trouble, then they want the Embassy to come to their aid. Most Ghana Embassies don't know the number of citizens in their host countries. Same scenario has occurred in Libya, Egypt, Liberia, Ivory Coast and now South Africa. Ghanaians should therefore be educated on the importance of registering with their Embassies when they travel abroad so that in cases of emergency, they can be located and helped.

Go to a Ghana High commision any where in the world and the arrogance displayed by most of them is frightening. Just enjoying the diplomatic status and collecting huge perks and salaries. Some few High Commisioners are active but most are there for the money and prestige. The last time a proper and fit High Commisioner was in South Africa , is 2008. I have stayed in various countries and the bad story is better than the good stories to tell. We have bad attitudes and work ethics .

let me remember you that nkrumah added the ewe land to ghana because of the volta. so lets say that original you aint even part of ghana because you were fixed into it. So you see how stupid,myopic and dump headed you have become. God will punish you and your wretched family. Stupid human with an animal character.

Our black brothers benefited immensely from other African Countries in the struggle against apartheid.The liberation struggle received enormous diplomatic, military and intelligence support from the likes of Dr Kwame Nkrumah.It is an interesting spectacle hearing of this why because South Africans even in Ghanaian institutions in Ghana showed some xenophobic tendencies and dislike for West Africans.They never trust Nigerians and Ghanaians often with the impression that West Africans are cheats.But the truth is that the average West African is only smarter in grabbing job opportunities and doing business.The presence of other black nationals particularly West Africans have been a big plus for Black South Africans.The wise Black South Africans know this and are happy to learn from West Africans about how to deal with the white man.You cannot blame the still naive Black South African with a complex and phobia of the apartheid white supremacist because of their experience.The wealth and economy of that Country is still controlled by the minority white.I don't think South African Indians are part of this xenophobic attacks because they are smarter in grabbing business opportunities that come their way.Black South Africans inferiority complex against whites are causing them emotional trauma with the smarter and successful West Africans in the business world being the victims of emotional transfer.The evidence to this was when a class mate from Botswana told me Whites are far more superior and intelligent than Blacks.She added God made whites special and we blacks have no choice but to be subservient and play second fiddle.The situation in Botswana as far as racial segregation is concerned was never different from South Africa.But this sort of unfortunate mentality of morbid inferiority complex and phobia for the white man is not helping our Black brothers and sisters in South Africa.Black South Africans should be bold and reasonable to politically push for reforms that will ensure equity in distribution of resources and utilization.The lack of jobs for example is not the making of the Ghanaian or Nigerian.It is simply because they lack the qualification and skill in most instances as a result of a defunct educational system that still favours whites.The apartheid crack down by white supremacist forced particularly men to be denied or disinterested in education.It is not for nothing their women relatively are more highly educated and hold higher positions than their male counterparts.But there is an opportunity for every Black South African to catch up in educational and economic opportunities in a new democratic South Africa instead of lousily sleeping and turning around to blame the hard working West African for their problems.
