Ghanaian media personality Nana Aba Anamoah has taken a swipe at South African President Cyril Ramaphosa following his recent remarks on the treatment of foreign nationals in South Africa.
Recently, Ramaphosa, in a speech that has gone viral on social media, expressed concern over the way some South Africans have treated other African nationals living in the country.
The South African president stated that he deeply regrets the treatment meted out to foreign nationals, adding that many South Africans are ashamed of the acts of discrimination, intimidation and violence directed at fellow Africans.
“We South Africans are deeply concerned and ashamed that people from other nations, some whose leaders are here, were treated badly and were even forced to leave the country under threat of violence. The criminal actions of a few within our communities are a repudiation of the solidarity upon which this Southern African community is built.
“We cannot preach integration at summits and practise exclusion in the streets of our countries. I say this as a South African, to South Africans first of all, but this is a broader challenge to which we must apply ourselves as a community. Southern Africa has borne witness to the movement of people over millennia,” he said.
Following the president’s remarks, which have been trending on social media in recent days, Nana Aba Anamoah reacted in a post shared on X and sighted by GhanaWeb on August 16, 2026.
According to the media personality, while President Ramaphosa may have expressed remorse over the attacks, the bigger question is whether those carrying out the xenophobic acts feel the same sense of shame.
Expressing her frustration, Nana Aba Anamoah also took a swipe at some South Africans, describing them as “uncultured” over their treatment of fellow Africans.
“Do your grossly uncultured people who keep hounding Africans on your streets feel deeply concerned and ashamed too, Cyril Ramaphosa?” she wrote.
