Jeffery Nortey exchanging pleasantries with Ga Mantse
CONTENT CREATOR and actor, Jeffery Nortey, paid a courtesy call on the Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, ahead of his anticipated concert dubbed “3 Faces of Jeffery Nortey”.
The show, which takes place on June 14, 2025, at the National Theatre in Accra, will showcase Jeffery’s three faces of creativity.
His engagement with the Ga Mantse was to also affirm his commitment to celebrating and promoting Ga culture through his creative work.
Jeffery, in a Facebook post, stated that his visit to the Ga Mantse palace was not only to invite him to the concert but also to engage him on his recent content performed in Ga.
“I paid a courtesy call to the Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, at the Ga Mantse Palace in Accra. Not just to invite him to my show, but also it was an opportunity to receive wisdom and guidance from His Royal Majesty that will further enrich my craft,” he said.
Speaking during the visit, I highlighted the growing popularity of my recent works, particularly the skits and videos performed in the Ga language alongside veteran actor Kalsoume Sinare.
These performances have resonated widely with audiences and have gone viral across social media platforms,” he said.
In response, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II encouraged Nortey and his team to continue producing content in the Ga language to help preserve the culture and traditions of the Ga people. He called on other native artists to support this initiative, emphasising the importance of the Ga language in defining their ethnicity and cultural identity.
The Ga Mantse has been a longstanding advocate for promoting the Ga language, pushing for its inclusion in schools and the publication of Ga literature. He has consistently stressed the need to preserve and strengthen the Ga language and traditions for future generations.
