Be vigilant, restrict your movement – Ghana High C’ssion cautions Ghanaians in SA

A political party in South Africa, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), has planned a ‘national shutdown’ today, Monday, 20 March 2023.

The Ghana High Commission in Pretoria, South Africa, has, therefore, cautioned Ghanaians living in South Africa to take precautions.

A statement issued by the Ghana High Commission in Pretoria said: “While the organisers have expressed their wish for a peaceful event, previous protests and demonstrations have had violent incidents.”

The mission, therefore, “advised members of the Ghanaian community to be vigilant to any such incidents, restrict their movements to safe areas, avoid mass gathering and contact the police for assistance when required.”

It also urged members of the Ghanaian community to contact the Mission “in case of emergency or any occurrences that affect them directly,” via telephone
