A Ghanaian content creator and online activist, popularly known as Sabato, has been reportedly attacked by vigilante groups and security personnel in South Africa over suspicions of involvement in illegal activities.
In viral videos sighted by GhanaWeb on June 10, 2026, Sabato was seen among a group of foreign nationals allegedly rounded up during an anti-immigration operation.
The individuals were seated on the bare ground outdoors and surrounded by their captors, who were heard accusing them of being undocumented immigrants engaged in criminal activities, including drug smuggling.
In the footage, Sabato was later escorted to his residence, where a security officer interrogated him and was seen removing cash from a small safe in his possession.
In a separate video shared after the incident, Sabato recounted what he described as a violent raid on his home.
“They were throwing blows, hitting me with guns, and more. What is happening in South Africa is all over the entire country. I am very sure that the government is behind it because the police are not protecting anyone.
“So if you are a Ghanaian in South Africa, do not think that you are safe wherever you are. I was home when I saw a crowd headed to my home. They broke down the gate to my home,” he said.
