I am Going to South Africa to do Business- Kwaw Kese

Lots and lots of Ghanaian entertainers have left Ghana to be part of the first ever world cup held in Africa, in the history of the FIFA organized completion, ie South Africa 2010. Abodam crooner Kwaw Kese is the latest to join the train.

Kwaw Kese left the shores of Ghana on Tuesday June 8, 2010 to join the world to celebrate Soccer and to lend his support to the Ghana Black Stars.

Speaking to peacefmonline on Tuesday evening before his departure from the Kotoka International airport, he said he was going to represent Ghana in South Africa and expose Ghanaian music to the world. “I am a business man so I am going to look for new business opportunities, and to tell the world that Ghana has a lot to offer”, he stated.

Kwaw added that “I know a lot of people are going to South Africa to have fun and waste time and money, but I am going to sell myself and my country to the world because for the next one month, all the attention and opportunities will be in South Africa. I am very proud to be a Ghanaian and an African”.

Kwaw Kese will be based in Pretoria, where the Black Stars were supposed to be and majority of Ghanaians will be based throughout the world cup.

He is expected to perform among other events, an open air concert outside the Pretoria Stadium on Friday June 11, 2010, alongside other Ghanaian artistes including: Sarkodie, Samini, K.K Fosu, VIP, Castro De Destroyer, Praye among others.

Kwaw said, he would use the opportunity to meet South African Artistes and if possible, collaborate with them on a couple of recordings in S.A studios. He would also take time out to visit other states and explore South Africa.

Asked about what he thinks the chances of the Black Stars in the competition are, Kwaw said “I know they will not disgrace Ghanaians. Sometimes they give us heart attack but, they are slow but sure”.

After the World Cup Kwaw Kese will release the video for his new single “Killer bewu last show”, directed by Nii Mantse on the Tip Toe Lane, at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra.
