Since the beginning of 2025, Ralph St Williams, who gained nationwide notoriety for his role in various protests during the previous Akufo-Addo-led NPP government, has embarked on a campaign to maintain good sanitation on the streets in Ghana.
On several occasions, the controversial social activist has publicly confronted many Ghanaian people involved in the pollution of their environment.
Ralph clashes with elderly man for littering
In a video he shared on his official TikTok page on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, Ralph fumed as he spotted an elderly man dumping refuse by the side of a walkway.
The social activist gently approached the man and exchanged pleasantries before questioning him over his decision to litter on the street.
The elderly man defended his actions by stating that workers from the waste management company, Zoomlion Ghana Limited, would visit the area and embark on a cleanup exercise.
Ralph and the man's interaction, which began on a calm note, quickly turned hostile as the activist marched him to pick up the refuse he had dumped on the street and threatened to get him arrested.
After the elderly man picked up his refuse and proceeded to leave the area, the Fix The Country convener hurled several insults at him, leading to a heated exchange of words between the two individuals.
Ralph later spoke about a sanitation campaign that had been undertaken by the Buzstop Boys on the same street and vented about the attitude of Ghanaians and political leaders as he walked to a nearby bus stop.

The local preacher continued her message, urging people to repent because the world was coming to an end.
