Kantanka's Aboboyaa built for Ghana's needs

The Boafo tricycle, which Kantanka introduced in recent months, is purpose-built for commercial hauling and is priced at GH¢55,000. It comes with a maximum load capacity of 1,500kg and a hydraulic-controlled tipping cargo bed, making it well-suited for the kind of heavy-duty sanitation and waste collection work that Buzstop Boys carry out on the ground. You can read more about the vehicle.

Kantanka Automobile, founded by the late Ghanaian industrialist Apostle Kwadwo Safo, is currently headed by CEO Israel Nana Kwadwo Safo Jnr, widely known as Akofena. The company has long positioned itself as Ghana's answer to global vehicle manufacturers, producing locally assembled cars and commercial vehicles designed to meet African road conditions and economic realities.

Buzstop Boys, for their part, have earned widespread admiration for their volunteer-led cleanup campaigns across Accra and beyond, taking on sanitation challenges that many feel the state has been slow to address.
