Dancehall artist Stonebwoy has joined the battle against illegal mining also known as galamsey, which has been causing controversies in the country for the past few weeks.
In a post on X, the “Run Go” hitmaker emphasized that the pain and effort of the protesters would not be wasted as they continue their march to combat the issue.
He mentioned that the demonstration would ultimately urge the government to address the crises in the country.
“As we touch the streets to advocate for the better. As we walk in the spirit footsteps of the Great ancestors that led us to freedom once upon a time. May our blood sweat and tears not remain in vain.”
“So we implore Gov’t or leadership ( incoming or outgoing) to Just validate our struggles by showing detailed plans on how to tackle the very pressing issues, such as “GALAMSEY” that face us as Ghanaians and RIGIDLY COMMIT to it,” he said.
Stonebwoy also urged for an immediate renovation of the rundown Korle-Bu mortuary following a TV3 documentary that brought attention to the facility’s challenges.
“Not forgetting the deplorable state of the Korle-Bu mortuary, amongst many others..” he added.
Stonebwoy has been a long-time advocate against illegal mining and the degradation of Ghana’s natural resources, even releasing a song that denounces the issue.
However, during the recent #FreetheCitizens and #OccupyJulorbiHouse protests, some people harshly criticized him for not taking part in the demonstrations.
As we touch the streets to advocate for the better.
As we walk in the spirit footsteps of the Great ancestors that led us to freedom once upon a time.
May our blood sweat and tears not remain vain…
So we implore Gov’t or leadership ( incoming or outgoing ) to Just validate…
