Benjamin Kofi Quashie, Chairman of the South African National Democratic Congress (NDC) Council of Elders, has provided assurance that the body of the late Enoch Teye Mensah, known as ET Mensah, will return to Ghana on Tuesday.

ET Mensah, a prominent figure in the National Democratic Congress and a former Youth and Sports Minister, passed away on Sunday, October 1, 2023, in South Africa while undergoing treatment; he was 77 years old.

A high-profile NDC delegation led by Mr. Joseph Nii Laryea Afotey-Agbo, the former Greater Accra Regional Minister and former Member of Parliament for Kpone-Katamanso Constituency, is currently in South Africa to finalize the arrangements for the repatriation.

The delegation also includes Mr. Ade Coker, the former Greater Accra Regional Chairman of NDC, Mr. Ebenezer Mensah (ET Mensah’s junior brother) and Madam Diana Nortey, the Queen mother of Prampram.

Upon their arrival in South Africa, the delegation was welcomed by Mr. Benjamin Kofi Quashie together with some chapter executives and members.

Also present was the representative of the High Commissioner H.E Charles Owiredu in the person of Mr Philip Acquah who is the Minister in charge of consular services at the Commission.

Mr. Benjamin Quashie and the executive members of the chapter have been actively coordinating efforts between the widow, family and the NDC top brass including the party's Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, the General secretary, Fiifi Fiavi Kwetey, Joshua Alabi and the former Deputy Chief of Staff, Dr. Valerie Sawyerr amongst others since the passing of ET Mensah, hence demonstrating their dedication to facilitate a dignified return.
