Radio and TV show host, Akumaa Mama Zimbi

The media personality danced upon revealing her hair.

Media personality and actress, Akumaa Mama Zimbi has finally revealed to Ghana what her hair looks like under the turban in a happy dancing video on social media.
The TV and radio show host shared a video of her; on TikTok dancing to the popular gospel song, ‘I serve a living God’ as she combed through her hair. The receding edges of her hair caught the attention of many of her followers who reacted negatively to her post.
The joy in sharing the post was short-lived when negative comments rolled in focusing more on the edges of the media personality.

A fan by the name Ohemaa Boatemaa said, “I now understand why there is always duku ak3se3” while another with the handle Justyoungme asked, “please put the Duku back on before we go to Heblues”.
Known for wrapping her hair with fabrics in a hollow form around her head, Akumaa has never for once gone on a holiday with her hollow turban signature, until in February when she revealed herself wearing a wig. The new-look attracted a lot of positive reactions but moving it a step further without the wig didn’t prepare us.
In an interview dated November 18, 2019, Akumaa Mama Zimbi confessed her headscarf is the only way she attracts the attention she deserves.

Miss Tourism queens displaying thier culture

It was a night of intellect, eloquence and culture as contestants of the 2026 Miss Tourism Ghana took centre stage at the Coconut Grove Regency Hotel for the Debate and Culture Night last Saturday.

The event, which forms part of activities leading up to the grand finale, saw the ladies move beyond beauty to battle with ideas, facts and opinions on a topic critical to the tourism industry.

The contestants debated the topic: The Importance of Traditional and Digital Media on Promotion of Tourism.

For the debate, the contestants were grouped into two teams of four, each tasked with defending a side of the argument.

It was a fierce but respectful exchange. The team arguing for traditional media described it as the trust builder, emphasising its credibility, mass reach, and its power to tell in-depth, emotional stories through television documentaries, radio and newspaper features. 

They argued that traditional media still shapes public opinion and influences policy decisions in the tourism sector.

On the other side, the proponents of digital media raised salient points about its unmatched advantages in the modern era.

 They highlighted its global reach at low cost, its two-way interaction that allows tourists to share real experiences and reviews, its ability to target specific audiences, and its measurable results where clicks, views and bookings can be tracked.

After heated arguments and rebuttals, both teams arrived at a powerful consensus that drew applause from the audience.

They concluded that without traditional media, tourism promotion lacks credibility and depth, and without digital media, it lacks reach, engagement and sales.

The judges and patrons agreed that the debate underscored a crucial lesson for Ghana’s tourism drive: for a country blessed with rich cultural heritage, colourful festivals, historic forts and castles, diverse wildlife and pristine beaches, the winning formula lies in combining the storytelling power of traditional media with the viral power of digital media to attract both domestic and international tourists.

The night was not only about debate, as the contestants also dazzled in cultural wear, showcasing the beauty and diversity of Ghanaian culture.
