South Africans confront Ghanaian resident in viral video, demand he leave the country

A video circulating online shows a group of South Africans confronting a Ghanaian resident, asserting that he has overstayed his welcome. A woman in the group stated that they would no longer tolerate foreigners from other African countries in South Africa, urging them to address issues in their home countries instead of seeking opportunities elsewhere. She emphasized that Africans should fix their own nations and expressed fatigue with migrants moving across the continent. The group questioned the Ghanaian man's presence, stating he arrived with a travel document and integrated into their communities. They demanded to see his passport, and when he presented a "certified copy," they accused him of obtaining it through bribery from a corrupt South African official. One man questioned why he would certify his passport in a foreign land, which the Ghanaian explained was to prevent loss or damage to the original. The South Africans maintained that he was in the country illegally and should depart.
