The Homowo twin festival of the Ga people of Ghana.

14/08/2021

The twin festival takes place every year in Ga Mashie.
On this day, all twins from Ga Mashie are dressed in white and paraded around town. This year’s festival is no exception.
It brought together both the young and old gorgeously dressed in their white apparels.

Walking infront of the float is a person known as the "tsese carrier"

Customarily, on the festival day, the twins are given special baths to cleanse them from any misfortune.

Afterwards, a special meal of mashed yam known as Otɔ is prepared for the twins and they are pampered to appease their spirits.

Do you know what the "tsese carrier" carries and why s/he is always in a trance?

August 4th has been chosen as the date for Founders' Day as it marks two important events in Ghana's history. It is the date for the formation of the Aborigines’ Rights Protection Society by John Mensah Sarbah in 1897, and the formation of the United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC) in 1947 by J.B. Danquah and George Alfred "Paa" Grant.

In a message to the nation to mark the inaugural Founders' Day on Sunday August 4th 2019, President Nana Akufo-Addo said: "We acknowledge the role played by successive generations of Ghanaians towards the liberation of our country from colonization and imperialism.”

Akufo-Addo added, “it is time we rose above partisan considerations, set the record straight, recognise the collective efforts in gaining our freedom and independence from colonial rule and do right by our history.
Happy Founders' Day Ghana.
