Dzifa Gomashie’s father dies at 106

Minister of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts and Member of Parliament for Ketu South, Hon. Dzifa Abla Gomashie has lost her father Mr. Gomashie the age of 106.

She shared the news in a solemn post on Facebook, where she uploaded a black-and-white photo of her father accompanied by the full verses of a timeless hymn that speaks of faith through sorrow.

In a gesture of remembrance, the MP also changed her Facebook profile picture to a touching photo she took with her father during his 106th birthday celebration just a few months ago in March.

Dzifa Gomashie is widely respected for her work as a cultural advocate, actress, and politician.

Before entering Parliament, she played significant roles in Ghana’s creative sector—particularly in theatre and television—and once served as Deputy Minister of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts under the Mahama administration.

Her passion for cultural preservation and the arts has remained a cornerstone of her public life.
