On Saturday, 2nd August Ghana Tug of War Association (GHATOWA) in collaboration with Ghana Education Service (GES) will honor sports girls and boys for making Ghana proud at the 2024 and 2025 Africa Tug of War championship in Zimbabwe (Victoria Falls) and South Africa (Kimberley) respectively where Akroso Sectech won bronze and Mamfe Methodist Girls won two silvers and three bronze.

Mr. Emmanuel Olla Williams, President of Ghana Tug of War Association said they will also honor some organisations and individuals for continuously supporting schools sports especially Tug of War (Strength Challenge or Pull Contest). They include 10 Companies, 10 Cooperate Personalities, 5 Stakeholders, 5 Media Houses, 10 Media Personalities and 10 Heads of SHS(s).

“Come and have an experience with the ROPE as 20 SHS (s) battle for bragging rights on who to represent Ghana next year at the Africa Championship 2026. It’s a victory pull, it’s a festival of strength and it’s time to select schools to represent Ghana. Let’s join over 20 senior high  schools with over 15,000 spectators as the rope will be stretched and pulled to decide who leads Ghana to Africa next year on Saturday, 2nd August* at Mamfe Methodist Girls SHS from 9am to 4:00pm” he said.
