The Member of Parliament for Afigya Kwabre North, Collins Adomako-Mensah, has called on Ghanaians to immediately boycott South African products and businesses, citing what he describes as the continued mistreatment of Ghanaians living in South Africa.
His comments come amid growing outrage over alleged xenophobic incidents and viral videos showing confrontations involving foreign nationals, including Ghanaians, in parts of South Africa.
Speaking on the matter, the lawmaker did not mince words, describing the situation as unacceptable and calling for urgent action.
“What is happening in South Africa is complete nonsense and should not be tolerated,” he said.
He urged Ghanaians to respond decisively through economic means, insisting that continued patronage of South African businesses in Ghana makes little sense if citizens are being mistreated abroad.
“With immediate effect, Ghanaians should start boycotting their products and businesses,” he stated.
According to him, a boycott would send a strong message and compel authorities to take the concerns of Ghanaians seriously.
He argued that economic pressure remains one of the most effective tools available to citizens in responding to perceived injustice.
“If our people are not respected there, then we should not continue to support their businesses here,” he added.
