Yvonne Nelson‘s inspired Dumsor Must Stop protest is set to proceed after facing initial obstacles with a police injunction.
The protest is scheduled to take place on June 8, as announced by the renowned filmmaker and actress on her X platform. The University of Ghana will serve as the central location for participants to gather.
At precisely 2 pm, participants will commence their march from the University of Ghana, with the vigil expected to conclude at 10 pm.
The first Dumsor Must Stop took place on Saturday, May 16, 2015, at the University of Ghana overhead Bridge in Accra.
The event was aimed to shed light on the energy crisis, commonly referred to as dumsor and drew a significant crowd.
Participants, including celebrities and their supporters, marched peacefully from the Legon overhead bridge, carrying candles, torchlights, placards, fridges, and lanterns to voice their concerns
The ‘Dumsor Must Stop’ campaign, initiated on social media by Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson, garnered widespread support, evident in the large turnout at the vigil.
Over 1,000 attendees used placards and other items to convey their messages to the President, urging immediate action to resolve the power crisis.
Many dressed in black and red attire highlighted the adverse effects of dumsor such as job losses and fatalities due to generator usage.
Notable figures like Yvonne Nelson, Van Vicker, Prince David Osei, Wanlov Kubolor, Efya, DKB, Barima Sidney, Afia Schwarzenegger, and D-Black were instrumental in the success of the vigil.
