Yvonne Nelson hints second ‘DumsorMustStop’ vigil
Yvonne Nelson
Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson has hinted yet another ‘DumsorMustStop’ to raise concerns about the recent erratic power supply in Ghana.
The actress took to twitter to express her intentions to lead another campaign as it happened in 2015 when the country faced similar power crisis.
She expressed disappointment at government for the crisis which she stated had affected many livelihoods.
In her tweet on April 22, 2024, Nelson called on Imani Ghana, a civil society group, to join forces for a fresh demonstration to highlight the significant contribution of IMANI to the success of the previous campaign.
Nelson criticised the government and accused them of taking Ghanaians for granted.
Her tweet read: “Imani Ghana, can we organise another vigil? I’ve been waiting for you to reach out like you did years back. Your team made our demo a success, I’m reaching out myself. The NPP and its leadership @ NAkufoAddo have taken Ghanaians for granted. #DUMSORMUSTSTOP.”
The hashtag #DUMSORMUSTSTOP, which gained prominence during the online protests against erratic power supply, has since resurfaced.
Though the ‘dumsor’ crisis has been felt across the country with many calling for a timetable to plan their activities, the government has remained adamant.
GHANAIAN rapper Sarkodie will take his flagship Rapperholic concert to the United Kingdom for the first time, marking a major milestone for the annual event that has become a staple of Ghana’s music calendar.
The show, scheduled for the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London on Friday, March 6, 2026, would be produced in partnership with Bizzle Entertainment and Kilimanjaro Live.
Sarkodie, one of Africa’s most decorated hip-hop artistes, said the move represents a cultural shift and feels timely.
“This is more than just a concert; it’s about expanding the culture beyond borders,” he said in a social media post, adding that after 13 years of hosting Rapperholic in Ghana, taking it to the UK is a natural progression.
Bizzle Entertainment, which previously staged Fameye’s “2 in a Guy” concert and Highlife legend Amakye Dede’s 50th anniversary show in London, would co-produce the event.
Rapperholic, launched in 2013, has grown into one of Ghana’s biggest music brands, drawing thousands of fans each year.
The London edition is expected to attract a diverse audience and further cement Sarkodie’s influence on the global Afrobeats and rap music scenes. –GNA
