Ghanaian actress Gloria Sarfo has raised the alarm over the ongoing clash between Minister Samuel Nartey George and MultiChoice Ghana, warning that removing Akwaaba Magic could severely impact the local film industry. The dispute centers on calls for a 30% cut in DStv subscription fees, with fears that regulatory pressure might force MultiChoice to drop key channels.

Akwaaba Magic has been a crucial platform promoting Ghanaian content, providing vital support to filmmakers during tough times. While the industry might survive without it, Sarfo insists the loss would leave a gap, weakening the creative ecosystem and reducing opportunities for local producers.

As negotiations continue, both sides face growing pressure to consider the cultural and economic consequences, urging a resolution that protects Ghana’s vibrant film scene.
