Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 44953, member: 636"] Mr. Ackah Anthony died early Saturday morning at the Police Hospital in Accra. The former Sports Writers Association of Ghana president passed away according to Joy Sports reports. Anthony led SWAG from 2007 to 2015 and helped make sports journalism better across the country. He organized many successful SWAG Awards ceremonies during his time as leader. The awards program remains the longest running event of its kind in Ghana. Anthony worked as Assistant Editor at Graphic Sports under the Graphic Communications Group Limited. He wrote a popular column called Candid Corner that appeared on the back page of The Mirror newspaper. His writing tackled tough topics about Ghana sports and questioned people in power. Sports fans knew him for speaking his mind about problems that needed fixing. Many journalists respected his honest approach to covering athletics. The former SWAG president worked hard to improve the association during his leadership years. He led efforts to fix up and redesign the SWAG Club House located in Dansoman, Accra. Anthony also started a campaign to bring more members into the organization from all parts of Ghana. His efforts made SWAG stronger and more influential across the nation. The association grew significantly under his guidance. Anthony leaves behind his wife Evelyn and four children. Evelyn previously worked as a director at the Ministry of Information. The family mourns the loss of a dedicated husband and father who served Ghana sports journalism for many years. [/QUOTE]
