Twelve Tribes Of Israel Ghana To Mark 40th Milestone

In 2026, the Twelve Tribes of Israel (TTI) Ghana Chapter is set to mark its 40th anniversary with a grand celebration in Accra. This milestone event will take place at the Arts Centre on December 6, 2026, and will feature a diverse lineup of reggae and highlife artistes, both from abroad and Ghana. Notable international performers like Micah Shemaiah, Patrick Junior, and Mariam Simone will join local talents such as Aklerh, Ras Caleb Appiah Levi, Nii Darko Positive D, and Natty Gad, among others.

The anniversary concert is expected to be a vibrant celebration of Rastafari's contributions to national development over the past four decades. In addition to the musical performances, the event will include community-focused activities, including a donation to the Nsawam Prisons to support rehabilitation and welfare initiatives.

The TTI Ghana Chapter has also planned a community soccer challenge to engage the youth and foster unity through sports. Furthermore, the anniversary celebrations will feature a visit to the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park and other historical sites, allowing attendees to reflect on Ghana's role in Pan-Africanism and justice.

Ahuma Bosco Ocansey, Overseer of the Twelve Tribes of Israel Ghana, emphasized the significance of the milestone, stating that the celebration aims to honor the impact Rastafari has had on national development. He highlighted President John Dramani Mahama's recent statement at the United Nations, in which he called slavery "the gravest crime against humanity."

This statement underscores the values and advocacy work that the TTI Ghana Chapter has been promoting throughout its 40-year history. The Twelve Tribes of Israel Ghana Chapter is a faith-based and cultural organization that upholds Rastafari principles.
