Africa Cup of Nations hosts Ghana have been kicked out of their hotel as profiteering continues in the West African country ahead of the start of the continental championship.
According to reports emanating from Kenya, the Black Stars had been booked to stay at the luxury Labadia Beach Hotel, at a reduced rate negotiated months ago.
But when the team returned home from their training camp in Abu Dhabi, they found their booking from Wednesday had been cancelled so that the hotel could free up the rooms and make more money.
Some hotels in Accra are charging up to R2000 a night as they seek to profit from the visitors arriving for the tournament. Rates are in some case triple the normal prices charged.
Ghana have since moved to the Fiesta Hotel in Accra.
