Businessman Ibrahim Mahama has extended financial support to Emmanuel Asamoah, the Ghanaian man who recently returned home after experiencing xenophobic attacks in South Africa.
As part of efforts to help him rebuild his life, Ibrahim Mahama offered Emmanuel Asamoah GH¢200,000 as seed capital to start a business in Ghana.
He also assured him of support in setting up a cement and hardware distribution depot in Accra to help him regain economic stability and successfully reintegrate into society.
The support was announced during a meeting on Tuesday, May 12, involving Ghana’s High Commissioner to South Africa, Benjamin Quashie, and Emmanuel Asamoah.
During the meeting, Ibrahim Mahama encouraged other Ghanaians living in South Africa to consider returning home, assuring them that opportunities exist in Ghana.
“Ambassador, if there are any other people there, let them all come back home. There are so many opportunities here for them,” he said.
The gesture comes amid renewed concerns about the safety and welfare of African migrants in parts of South Africa, where xenophobic attacks over the years have affected several foreign nationals, including Ghanaians.
