In 2023, Parliament of Ghana passed legislation criminalising the act of accusing a person of witchcraft.

The law was introduced to address abuse, stigma, and violence—particularly against elderly women and vulnerable individuals—linked to witchcraft accusations. It also provides for penalties against those who promote or profit from such accusations.

In April 1964, Ghana held a national referendum that approved constitutional changes making Kwame Nkrumah President for Life and establishing Ghana as a one-party state under the Convention People’s Party (CPP).

The referendum results reported over 99% approval, though the process has since been widely criticised for lacking political freedom and credible opposition.

On 24 February 1966, Nkrumah was overthrown in a military coup while on a diplomatic trip to Asia. The coup ended Ghana’s First Republic and ushered in a period of military and civilian-led governments.

This remains a defining moment in Ghana’s political history and constitutional development.

The Royal Gold Coast Gazette was the earliest known newspaper published in what is now Ghana. It was produced during the British colonial period and primarily served colonial administrators, merchants, and officials.

The Gazette focused on:
• Government notices and proclamations
• Trade and shipping information
• Colonial policy updates

While it was not designed for the general African population, its publication marks the beginning of formal print journalism in Ghana.

Today, Ghana has one of the most active media landscapes in Africa, spanning newspapers, radio, television, digital platforms, and creator-led media.

This highlights the starting point of that evolution.
