Social activist Ralph De FellowGhanaian has sparked a heated debate online after confronting traders at Rawlings Park near Makola in Accra over the practice of selling along the roadside.
In a video circulating on social media, Ralph is seen engaging some traders, urging them to stop occupying walkways and roadside spaces with their goods.
The conversation quickly turned into an argument as some traders defended their actions and expressed concerns about their livelihoods.
Ralph, known for his outspoken views on national issues, has consistently criticised both Ghanaian leaders and citizens over behaviours he believes contribute to the country’s challenges.
He has spent years moving around different parts of the country, engaging people on issues such as discipline, sanitation, and responsible citizenship.
He became widely recognised as one of the prominent faces of the #FixTheCountry movement between 2021 and 2022, where he joined calls for improved governance and better living conditions for Ghanaians.
His latest encounter with the Makola traders has generated mixed reactions, with some applauding his efforts to promote order in public spaces, while others argue that roadside trading remains a result of economic struggles and a lack of accessible market spaces.
The incident has once again reignited discussions about balancing city development efforts with the needs of traders who depend on informal businesses for survival.
