🌟 Who is Apostle Dr. Ing. Kwadwo Safo Kantanka?
Often called the “Star of Africa”, Apostle Dr. Kwadwo Safo Kantanka (b. 1948, Bekwai, Ashanti Region) is a pastor, inventor, and founder of Ghana’s first car manufacturing company (ghanaianmuseum.com). He began his journey in science and mechanics—first as a TV and music-instrument innovator—then as a welder at VALCO. His entrepreneurial spirit led to the creation of churches, a tech research centre, and eventually, Kantanka Group of Companies in 1994 (ghanaianmuseum.com).
By 1998, Kantanka had produced its first Complete Built Unit (CBU) using over 75% locally manufactured components, including the engine block (ghanaianmuseum.com). In 2006, the first SUV, the Onantefo I, took shape—and Kantanka has been accelerating ever since (ghanaianmuseum.com).
