# The Ghanaian Ministry of Foreign Affairs says it has deferred its planned evacuation of Ghanaians who have indicated that they feel unsafe in South Africa. More than 800 Ghanaians have registered with their High Commission in Pretoria seeking to be evacuated due to the latest wave of xenophobic attacks. The ministry says, considering the numbers involved and the South African legal conditions that have to be met, including mandatory passenger screening, multi-institutional coordination, and flight permits, the planned evacuation has been deferred by a few days.
