Ghanaian Actor And Comedian Kwame Dzokoto Dies After Collapsing During Live Radio Discussion

According to a report by Ghanaian citizen TV on Thursday October 22, 2026, Ghana’s entertainment industry has been thrown into mourning following reports of the death of veteran actor, comedian and broadcaster Seth Kwame Dzokoto, popularly known as Kwame Dzokoto.

The actor reportedly died on Thursday, October 22, 2026, after collapsing during a live radio discussion at Owass Radio in Tarkwa in the Western Region of Ghana. Reports indicate that he was rushed to a hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.

The circumstances surrounding his sudden death have shocked many people, particularly fans who had followed his career across television, radio and comedy.

Details about the medical cause of death had not been officially disclosed in the initial reports.

Kwame Dzokoto was a familiar face in Ghanaian entertainment, having built a reputation through his work as an actor, comedian and television presenter.

His performances endeared him to audiences, especially through the popular television series Efiewura, where he became widely recognised for his comic talent.

He also hosted Edziban, a television programme that explored Ghanaian cuisine and introduced viewers to food vendors, local eateries and the country’s diverse culinary traditions.

Through the programme, he contributed to the promotion of Ghanaian food culture while entertaining audiences with his distinctive presentation style.

Beyond his television appearances, Dzokoto worked in radio broadcasting, where he developed a connection with listeners through his communication skills and engaging personality.

His career reflected his versatility as an entertainer who could move between acting, comedy and broadcasting.

His involvement in politics also formed part of his public life. He contested the Tarkwa-Nsuaem parliamentary seat on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during the 2016 general elections but lost to the New Patriotic Party’s Mireku Duker.

In September 2026, Dzokoto had addressed rumours about his health and reports claiming that he had died.

During media interviews, he insisted that he was alive and spoke about health challenges he had been experiencing, while reassuring the public that he was recovering.

The latest reports of his death have therefore come as a major shock, following his earlier public assurances about his condition.

As news of his reported passing spreads, tributes and messages of condolence are expected from colleagues in the entertainment industry, political associates, fans and members of the public who admired his contribution to Ghanaian television and radio.

His work in Efiewura and Edziban remains a significant part of his public legacy, reflecting his contribution to comedy, television entertainment and the promotion of Ghanaian culture.
