The South African government’s special envoy to Ghana says properly registered and insured tax-paying Ghanaians businesses in South Africa will be compensated.

Jeffrey Radebe expressed deep regret for the attacks and called for cooperation among African states to deal with the socio-economic issues that underline such attacks.

At least three Ghanaians were injured in the latest xenophobic attacks in South Africa which saw the destruction of properties and loss of lives.

At a media briefing after a closed-door session with government, Tuesday, Minister Radebe said the laws of South African will be fully applied in addressing the aftermaths of the attacks.

The special envoy also noted government has accepted the apology of South Africa to Ghanaians for the unfortunate incident.
