Sarkodie Blasts Xenophobic Violence in South Africa After Ghanaian’s Death
Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has strongly condemned the latest wave of xenophobic attacks in South Africa, describing the situation as “insane” and calling for urgent action following reports that a Ghanaian national was shot dead amid rising violence targeting foreign nationals.
The award-winning musician expressed deep disappointment over the renewed unrest, noting that South Africa remains one of his favourite countries but insisting that the recent developments are disturbing and unacceptable.
Taking to social media, Sarkodie wrote:
“Disappointed in one of my favourite places in the world, SA. I know not everyone out there is involved in this, but this is insane and makes no sense!”
He stressed that while not all South Africans are involved in the attacks, the growing incidents of violence against foreigners require stronger public condemnation and collective responsibility from citizens.
Sarkodie further urged South Africans to speak out more forcefully against xenophobic violence, warning that the situation is “getting out of hand” and could worsen if not addressed.
“I wish my South African brothers and sisters would speak up against this more strongly because it’s getting out of hand. God help our African brothers and sisters out there,” he added.
His comments come amid renewed concerns over the safety of foreign nationals in South Africa, where recent reports and widely circulated social media videos have shown alleged attacks on migrants and looting of businesses owned by non-citizens.
The reported killing of a Ghanaian national has further intensified public outcry, with many Ghanaians and other Africans calling for stronger protection of foreigners and more decisive action from authorities to prevent further escalation of xenophobic violence.

‘Where There’s Unity, There’s Victory’ – Daughters of Glorious Jesus
Veteran Ghanaian all-female gospel group Daughters of Glorious Jesus have said the greatest legacy they hope to leave behind is one of unity, describing it as the foundation of their remarkable journey in the gospel music industry.
The award-winning gospel group said their enduring bond and continued success over the years are proof that unity is essential for achieving lasting success, not only in music but in every aspect of life.
Speaking during an interview on Joy Prime’s Changes show, the group explained that unity has been the driving force behind their ability to remain together as one of Ghana’s longest-serving gospel music groups.
When asked how they would like to be remembered, lead singer Cynthia Agyare Appiadu gave a simple but powerful response: “Unity.”
“Where there’s unity, there’s victory,” she said.
She explained that the principle extends beyond music, saying, “It cuts across every aspect of life—in marriage, families, workplaces, churches and wherever you find yourself. When there’s no unity, there’s no victory.”
The group also credited humility as another key pillar of their longevity and success, noting that it has strengthened their relationship and kept them together throughout their musical journey.
Edna Sarpong said they hope future generations will remember them not only for their songs but also for demonstrating that unity, humility and the fear of God can sustain a successful and long-lasting music group.
“We also want the generations to come to remember that a music group was once able to remain united through humility and the fear of God,” she said.
According to the group, their journey proves that people can work together harmoniously for decades despite life’s challenges, making their story an example worth emulating.
Adding her voice to the discussion, Monica Owusu Ansah said their relationship has grown beyond music into a family bond. Although Cynthia and Edna are biological sisters, Monica said she has become part of their family through their decades of friendship and shared ministry.
Speaking in Twi, Monica said humility and unity have remained the foundation of their success, adding that maintaining those values while raising families and pursuing individual lives has made their journey even more meaningful.
The group expressed hope that their story will continue to inspire future generations to embrace unity, humility and faith as the foundation for lasting success.
