In a heartfelt message posted on her official Facebook handle and monitored by EKAE Media, Sweetness recounted how the news was broken to her at a joyful family event, where celebration suddenly turned into sadness.

She reflected on the late Nana Konadu’s legacy, sharing personal memories from their time at Achimota School, noting with pride that they were both members of Kingsley House. She also recalled the presence of Amina Rawlings, daughter of the former First Lady, during their school days and the admiration she had for the Rawlings family even in their youth.

Sweetness extended her condolences to Hon. Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, Member of Parliament and daughter of the late stateswoman. She praised Dr. Zanetor for her unwavering support and advocacy for autoimmune patients in Ghana, especially lupus patients — a cause close to Sweetness' heart.

                        The Agona Nyakrom Traditional Area proudly launched their 2025 annual Akwambo Festival on Saturday, June 28, 2025, with a theme: "Salvaging Declining Social Values; A Shared Responsibility Of Government & Traditional Rulers."  The festival, slated for August 2nd to 10th, promises to be a vibrant celebration of culture, heritage, and community development.
