In a strongly-worded analysis, the Founder and Executive Chairman of the Africa Prosperity Network drew parallels with historical mass expulsions across the continent — including Ghana's Alien Compliance Order of 1969, Uganda's expulsion of Asians under Idi Amin in 1972, and Nigeria's "Ghana Must Go" exercise of 1983 — but argued that South Africa's current crisis is fundamentally different and potentially more disturbing.
