As preparations are underway for the celebration of the 2022 Fetu Afahye, the chairman for the Afahye planning committee, Mr. Perry Mensah has urged residents of Cape Coast to be security-conscious and to observe all the Covid- 19 protocols.
This, he explains will help ensure the success of the festival which was stalled for 2 years due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic in Ghana.
He notes that by doing so, revellers will avoid situations that can expose them to danger especially with visitors coming from far and near to celebrate the festival.
Activities for the commemoration of the festival commenced July 26 and it is expected to be climaxed in the first week of September where there will be a grand durbar among a host of other programmes.
