The founder of the Special Ice Group of Companies is set to celebrate his 60th birthday on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, with several events already held to hail his impact on Ghanaian society.
On Saturday, May 2, Mzbel appeared on United Showbiz on UTV and joined the panel in praising the businessman before his birthday.
Mzbel said she had always thought Dr Ofori Sarpong and Dr Osei Kwame Despite, the founder of Despite Media, UTV’s parent company, were twins until she learned otherwise.
“I used to think he was Dr Osei Kwame Despite's brother, because whenever you see one, you are bound to see the other. When Despite wears white, he also wears white, and when Despite wears black, he does the same. So I always thought they were twins or very close brothers. Until I realized they are just friends who have turned into a family,” she said.
The 16 Years Hitmaker said Dr Ofori Sarpong was a billionaire worth his salt who often undertook philanthropic measures to better society, and said Ghana would be much better if other billionaires emulated him.
“He is doing a lot, he is doing great things, at PRESEC, on social media, and on television, we see all he does. So I hope his benevolence sets an example for others to follow. If we had more billionaires like him in the country, a lot of suffering would be eliminated. So we wish him well, wisdom, and more. Whatever he yearns for on this earth, may God open the way for him to achieve it and more,” she added.
Dr Ernest Ofori Sarpong has, over the years, earned a reputation as one of Ghana’s most generous wealthy individuals, carrying out donation exercises to support sectors of Ghanaian society, including education, healthcare, and faith-based initiatives.
In 2025, he donated laptops to the University of Ghana and the Presbyterian Boys Secondary School (PRESEC) Legon, his alma mater, underscoring his dedication to helping solve problems in society.
Mzbel’s comment sparked positive reactions on social media, with many Ghanaians praising her for giving Dr Ofori Sarpong the praise he deserved.
