Ghana is introducing a new e-visa system, which is to be free of charge for all African citizens. The country hopes that this free visa will attract both tourists and investors, as Ghana hopes to improve its economy. It is now the sixth African country to remove all visa fees for African citizens. But there are concerns over control at the borders. FRANCE 24's Justice Baidoo spoke to Ghanaians over the new measure.
