Kwame Owusu-Ansah

Kwame Owusu-Ansah or Kwame Owusu Ansah (or John William Kwame Owusu Ansah, 9 December 1967 - 2 May 2008) was a Ghanaian radio broadcaster, poet, Public Relations Consultant and teacher turned actor who graced the scene of the Ghanaian movie industry through various collaboration with Nigerians and major features in Ghanaian movie.

Owusu-Ansah was born at Alajo in Accra to Smart Owusu Ansah and Victoria Cosmos Gonsalves. He appeared in about 60 movies prior to his death in 2008.

Owusu-Ansah was also the Media Director of Madhaus Incorporation, a record label and subsidiary of FNT Group of Companies (FNT Group).

He died on 2 May 2008 from injuries sustained from an automobile accident on the Tema Motorway in Accra.

During his memorial service on 14 June 2008, "another woman aside his already known mother, Madam Victoria Cosmos Gonsalves who hails from Atsiavi in the Volta region, claimed ownership of Kwame. One Miss Koffie believed to be a native of Cape Coast created a scene outside the church hall whaling and shouting that Kwame is her son." The woman claimed on a radio station that she has evidence proving that the late Owusu-Ansah was her son. When asked by the radio presenter how she met Owusu-Ansah's late father, "Miss Koffie said she was in the brigade and Kwame's father was in the military so they met at Burma Camp where they both lived." On Saturday 28 June 2008, exactly a week after Owusu-Ansah's burial, family members called a press conference and denied the woman's claims.
