A one-week observation will be held in memory of late veteran actor, Prince Yawson, popularly known as Waakye on Friday, August 26.
The actor died on August 2 due to an alleged stroke illness. He was 65.
The one-week observation will be held at the Accra Tourism Information Centre near the Jubilee House, Accra.
It is expected to be attended by major names in the Ghanaian movie industry and other showbiz stakeholders.
“The family has other funerals to take care of, which is why they chose 26th August,” Bob Smith Jnr reportedly explained the date on Accra-based TV XYZ.
Introduced to acting by Grace Omaboe (Maame Dokono), Waakye became a household name in the 1980s while he played the comic character ‘Waakye’ in the popular ‘Obra’ TV drama series, which was aired on Ghana Television.
