‘Take responsibility’ – Minority caucus supports tough action against South Africa

The Minority in Parliament has thrown its support behind the government’s decision to pursue tougher diplomatic action against South Africa over the treatment of Ghanaians, including the call for the African Union (AU) to consider sanctions.“The government’s decision to escalate the matter to the African Union level and to call on the African Union to consider sanctions against South Africa is one that we support.”“I’ve never seized the opportunity; I’ve never lost the opportunity to make this point that we support the Minister and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the President and the Government of Ghana to take up the matters relating to our compatriots in South Africa, particularly as it relates to the protection of Ghanaian citizens anywhere in the world, in South Africa in particular.”
