It will be interesting to know which group of people owns the Accra Mall.
Excellent show piece of modern shopping just like the developed world these days.
I see many flock in there to do their shopping in the mist of the poverty that surrounds Ghana.
The staff are well trained with excellent customer care and also there is a good display of products.
It appears most of the products are made from some where else but Ghana.
Where are our great business entrepreneurs the Makola men and women.
Can’t they face this challenge too?
Well, one would assume that if they have the business know-how then they would face this competition.
Sainsbury’s a supermarket started small just like our Makola men and women but see how far they have moved on over the course of the years.
Micro- financing is not perhaps going too far to reach out to those who need assistance most.
Back to my question who owns the Accra Mall?

Who owns the Accra Mall?

My search online found the following: "The developers of the Accra mall are the Johannesburg based Actis, the management arm of CDC Capital Partners, a leading private equity investor in emerging markets. Actis has been involved in a number of developments in other African countries including the Lagos Palms. The development in Ghana has been undertaken with the assistance of a Ghanaian partner. The development company for the Accra project is Intercity Hotels."I sincerely hope that the Ghanaian partner's anonymity is because of their desire to be low key and not because the source of their input is questionable. Whoever it is, the truth will surface soon and I wish them all the best, if they are clean.

Kojo l think you may have heard him being interviewed on Joy Fm Super Morning show. He is not low profile at all. He gave the Youth a lot of advise and indicated that he started thinking about the project some 10 years. The name is Mr Owusu Akyaw if my memory serves me right.
