Kwesi Pratt Jnr criticizes Ghana's handling of diplomatic exchanges with South Africa

Speaking on Metro TV's Good Morning Ghana on July 8, 2026, Pratt described the public disclosure of confidential exchanges between the two governments as damaging to Ghana's diplomacy and contrary to African unity. He argued that such leaks create a poor impression and could undermine trust in Ghana as a diplomatic partner, questioning the motive behind the disclosure. Pratt emphasized that African unity is imperative and that responses to issues like xenophobic attacks should strengthen cooperation among African states, not weaken it.

He urged African leaders to prioritize diplomatic engagement to resolve disputes and maintain focus on continental unity, warning that actions deepening divisions hinder efforts to free the continent from economic exploitation.
