Accra Stadium Disaster: Sunda Donates To Mark 20th Anniversary

Sunda International, a Chinese company operating in Ghana has donated assorted products to families of the victims of the Accra stadium disaster on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the historic incident.

May 9 2021 marks 20 years since the Accra sports stadium disaster claimed the lives of 126 Ghanaians in a stampede caused by police tear gas during a game between Accra Hearts of Oak and Kumasi Ashanti Kotoko at the Accra sports stadium.

Although no official has been held responsible and accountable over the period of 20 years for the disaster, the families of the victims of the stadium disaster have had to pay the full price of single parenthood, economic hardships, pain of loss and neglect from friends, family and the government.

Based on the feelings of empathy for the suffering of the families of the victims, Herbert Mensah who was chairman of Kotoko at the time of the disaster, set up the May 9 foundation through which he has given support over the years for some families of the several victims.
