A young Ghanaian man has been found dead with his body parts missing in South Africa after travelling to the country, after he promised greener pastures.
Reports suggest that Israel Ashitei Kamoah, the young Ghanaian man, was allegedly murdered in South Africa in late March 2026.
According to reports, the deceased travelled to South Africa on March 25, 2026, on a trip allegedly organised by the Millennium Supporters Union of Ghana.
In a Facebook post by Ablade TV sharing the news wrote, “Israel Kamoah Ashitei Found D€@d in South Africa; Missing Body Parts Raise Suspected Organ Harvesting Concerns.
A graduate of Accra Technical University, Israel Ashitei Kamoah, was allegedly murderèd in South Africa after joining a trip organised by the Millennium Supporters Union of Ghana.
Reports indicate that Israel arrived in South Africa on March 25, 2026, after allegedly being lured by a woman identified as Edith, who reportedly handled his passport, visa, and flight arrangements.
According to the family, Edith urged him to keep the trip secret, promising him a ticket to the South Africa versus Panama football match, along with possible job opportunities.
On March 29, just a day before his death, Israel reportedly sent a message to his cousin, sharing Edith’s name and phone number.
He allegedly stated that she worked with the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority and warned that if anything happened to him, his father should hold her responsible.
Sadly, Israel dièd the following day, March 30, 2026.
Trip organisers later claimed that a South African postmortem report described his death as suicide.
However, after his body was repatriated to LEKMA Mortuary on April 1, 2026, the family raised serious concerns, alleging that his heart, lungs, and liver were missing.
Adding to the suspicion, CCTV footage reportedly shared with the family showed Israel being dragged away after refusing something, sparking fears of foul play.
Following a complaint at the Labadi Police Station, Edith was invited for questioning but was later released, and the case was reportedly dismissed.
Believing this may involve murdèr and possible orgán trafficking, the family has now escalated the matter to the Criminal Investigations Department, CID, for a full and thorough investigation.
This remains a developing story, and we will continue to follow updates as they unfold.”
The news has surfaced at a time a viral video of viral street confrontation video from South Africa, showing activist Victoria Africa, commonly known as Queen Vee and a group of locals questioning a Ghanaian man and other African migrants about their travel documents.
According to Victoria Africa, South Africans are tired of other African countries migrating to their country and refusing to fix their own countries.
Victoria Africa in the viral video stated, “We are fixing this continent. This thing of you guys moving from one country to another is no longer working. We don’t want this as African people anymore. We are tired of seeing African migrants moving all over the world, refusing to fix their own countries. Now we are making it very clear to you guys, we don’t want you here. We want you to fix your countries.
“You came here with a travelling document. We came with a passport. You know that you are a visitor, but you decided to come and integrate into our communities. You know very well that what you have done is wrong. We can come to Ghana and do what you do now.”
The Ghanaian man was then asked to show his passport. After he showed them the document, which was a “certified copy” of his passport, they accused him of buying it from a corrupt South African official.
Another man asked the Ghanaian man, “Who is the police officer that you are bribing to certify these things for you… Let me tell you, you know, by law, as an immigrant, you’re not allowed to certify your passport… Why do you certify your passport in a foreign land? Let’s just start there. Why do you certify your passport in a foreign land?”.
The man explained that he had a certified copy because he did not want the original one to get lost or destroyed by rain.
The South Africans kept insisting that he was in their country illegally and should leave.
The footage has triggered an intense online debate about xenophobia and migration.
Meanwhile, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, has told the South African High Commissioner to Ghana, Thando Dalamba, to urge his government to take decisive action to protect Ghanaians and other Africans living in South Africa.
According to Abklakwa, at the meeting, he conveyed the Government of Ghana’s strong condemnation of the continuous xenophobic attacks on Ghanaians and other Africans living in South Africa.
He further called for investigations to be expedited and all perpetrators to be punished, highlighting that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will communicate other steps we have taken in due course.
In a post shared on X on Thursday, April 23, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa wrote, “Earlier today, I summoned the Acting South African High Commissioner to Ghana, Mr Thando Dalamba.
At the meeting, I conveyed the Government of Ghana’s strong condemnation of the continuous xenophobic attacks on Ghanaians and other Africans living in South Africa.
We are urging South African authorities to take decisive action in protecting the human rights and dignity of our nationals and all Africans.
Ghana equally expects that the promised investigations be expedited and all perpetrators punished to serve as an adequate deterrence.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will communicate other steps we have taken in due course”.
