The first cars to carry a “made in Ghana” seal will be under a harsh spotlight as they prepare to enter the marketplace and take on the major international brands.

The man that made it happen is under no illusions about the difficulty of the task.

“The biggest challenge is people believing (and) having faith in the car,” says Kwadwo Safo Jr, CEO of Kantanka Group — the nation’s first manufacturers.

“People think the doors will come off or the tires will blow off or something.”

The manufacturing base in Accra can produce just 100 cars month, and with high costs, the cheapest of three models costs around $20,000.But given the rapid progress until now, such difficulties do not deter Safo from dreaming, and his dreams are not limited to the domestic market.

“We’ve gotten this far because we believe in the possibilities,” he says. “One day we will be all over the world.”
