Ga Mantse’s Fetu Afahye entry: A proud Ga moment

In Cape Coast from September 3-7, 2026, I experienced Oguaa Fetu Afahye, the Festival of the People of Cape Coast. The city was buzzing with excitement, and it was my first time attending the festival. The energy was infectious, with thousands of people dressed in the color orange, creating a unified cultural and social event. The Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, made a grand entrance, commanding attention with his traditional regalia and royal presence.

As a proud Ga, witnessing this moment reminded me of the beauty of Ghana's traditional institutions and the unity of its diverse cultures.
