FULL LIST: Second batch of Ghanaian evacuees from South Africa scheduled for June 6 repatriation flight
The High Commission of the Republic of Ghana in South Africa has released the official list of the second batch of evacuees scheduled to return home, even as registration for the voluntary repatriation exercise has been temporarily suspended to allow for the processing and verification of the large number of applications already received.
According to a notice issued to the Ghanaian community in South Africa on June 1, 2026, over 1,500 Ghanaians have registered for the repatriation exercise so far, and the verification and processing of these applications is currently underway.
The temporary suspension of new registrations took effect from 2nd June 2026.
The High Commission assured interested Ghanaians who have not yet registered that the repatriation exercise has not ended, and the date for the next phase of new registrations will be communicated in due course.
