Ajara wins Srekwakwa contest

Season 2 of the popular comedy reality show, Srekwakwa, came to a close last Friday  on Adom TV.  It was a night of fun amidst jokes and musical performances at the Centre for National Culture, Kumasi.

The programme travelled through 13 weeks of performances by contestants who had been selected via auditions in Kumasi, Koforidua and Takoradi. 

Sixteen contestants started on March 14 but 10 were evicted after failing to impress the judges and to win votes from viewers and the general public. 

Contestants were given tasks each week to perform which attracted comments and marks from the judges as well as votes from the general public. The judges always had the power to save one or two from the three with the lowest marks at the end of a show.

The final six were given the opportunity to do “free style” which brought the audience on their feet, laughing throughout the show. Splendid performances by artistes like Joey B, Agnes Opoku Agyeman, the gospel diva and Kobi Rana, were part of the show.

At the end, Ajara who had taken a commanding lead from the first show was adjudged the winner and he took home a cash prize of GH¢5,000. Second place  went to Bishop Lumba who took home an amount of GH¢3,000 followed by Santo Alive with an amount of GH¢2,000 with Original P4 taking home GH¢1,000 for placing fourth.  Prekese and Abena, the only female contestant, took home consolation prizes from the producers. 

Producers of the programme, Adom TV were very pleased and satisfied with patronage of the show by the audience who travelled from far and near to Kumasi Cultural Centre to watch the shows each week.
