Government reportedly declines the telecom giant’s proposed financial support following attacks on Ghanaians and other foreign nationals in South Africa.

The Ghanaian Government has reportedly rejected a $1.8 million donation from MTN intended to support victims of xenophobic attacks in South Africa.

The donation was reportedly proposed as part of efforts to assist Ghanaians affected by attacks targeting foreign nationals in South Africa.

The government's decision comes amid heightened concerns over the safety and welfare of Ghanaians living and doing business in the country.

The reported rejection has generated discussions about the appropriate role of corporate organisations in responding to attacks against citizens abroad and the responsibility of governments to protect their nationals.

The development also comes amid renewed calls for stronger measures to address xenophobia and protect foreign nationals in South Africa.

MTN, which has significant operations in both Ghana and South Africa, has yet to publicly clarify the reported rejection.
