Ibrahim MahamaThe Chief Executive Officer of Engineers & Planners and philanthropist, Ibrahim Mahama, has committed resources to supporting the recent evacuation of Ghanaians from South Africa.
His intervention comes days after the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the commencement of the second phase of its voluntary evacuation exercise for an estimated 1,000 Ghanaians who registered to return home following xenophobic attacks targeting African nationals in South Africa.
However, with the exercise placing considerable strain on the national budget, Ibrahim Mahama volunteered to finance air tickets for the latest batch of returnees.
Thousands of African nationals have been evacuated by their respective countries following recent violence orchestrated by anti-migrant groups in South Africa.
In addition, two private individuals have reportedly initiated proceedings against South Africa at the International Criminal Court, seeking accountability over the attacks.
