'Made in Ghana' Kantanka cars enter tough local market

Accra

JAPANESE Toyotas, German Mercedes and BMWs, GM cars and trucks from the USA are driven in countries around the world. But in Ghana, an inventor and church leader who started out trying to make voice-controlled television sets is telling the car giants to move over.

Kwadwo Safo Kantanka - nicknamed the "Apostle" because he also runs a network of churches - has finally realised his dream of developing and marketing cars "made in Ghana".
