The Government of Ghana has expressed deep gratitude to the Church of Pentecost in South Africa for providing free shelter to stranded citizens. On Saturday, July 25, 2026, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs praised the church leaders in Pretoria and Johannesburg, alongside Global Kingdom Investment Pty. Ltd., for opening their doors to displaced compatriots.
These kind organizations offered safe shelter to hundreds of Ghanaians who fled their homes during recent xenophobic attacks. This beautiful show of solidarity proves that our Ghanaian spirit of love and community shines brightest during difficult times.
The government announced that the next phase of emergency evacuations begins on Sunday, July 26, 2026. Official transport plans show that about one thousand Ghanaians will return home in structured batches over the coming days.
The first evacuation flights will arrive at Kotoka International Airport in Accra on July 26 and July 27. State officials are working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure every returning citizen receives a warm welcome and proper medical attention.
Ghana’s High Commission in Pretoria has reactivated its emergency consular response unit to support affected individuals. Diplomatic officers remain on high alert to process travel documents and assist any Ghanaian who wants to leave South Africa immediately.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs urges our citizens in South Africa to stay completely calm and avoid dangerous hotspots. Returning home safely remains the top priority, and diplomatic staff are making sure no one gets left behind in harm’s way.
This heartwarming intervention shows how religious bodies and private companies can support government efforts during international emergencies. Offering free accommodation for weeks relieved immense stress for frightened families waiting for official evacuation.
As the state steps up to bring our brothers and sisters home, we applaud the Church of Pentecost for showing real faith in action. Their generous humanitarian support gives every Ghanaian reasons to feel proud of our shared heritage.
