The demo of Menzgold because customers hope against any hope of recovering investments

Menzgold's customers have launched another protest in Tarkwa, a city in the western region, as they continue their efforts to recover the stranded investments in a company now described as a Ponzi scheme.

This is the second event in the last 50 days after its organization in the Ashanti regional capital, Kumasi, on January 8, 2019.

Numbering 500, customers in red T-shirts paraded through the streets with their signs accusing the government and state institutions of not helping them get their money back.

Their placards threatened the government for the 2020 Asantehene elections, photographed as receiving Menzgold's CEO Nana Appiah Mensah at Manhyia Palace in April 2018.

They also targeted the Peace Council, an institution generally concerned with the implications of the country's peace and security policy.

But in their rationale, patrons said in a petition to the Peace Council that the state's persistent inability to help them recover their money had implications for peace.

In a more frightening testimony on this subject, a sign indicated: "our money, our blood". At the last protest, some protesters claimed that they were willing to die if it was what it took to get their money back.

Their signs reserved a space for anger after the apparently unexpected comments of Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta in November 2018, describing customers as greed.

The Imam National Chief also received a special mention on his posters.

Although risk badysts believe their money is gone forever, disgruntled customers are still hoping for hope, even though one of them described Ghana as a "hopeless country".

The new center of anger, Tarkwa, has some 9,000 customers, according to the organizers, which justifies the remarks made by former Director General of the Minerals Commission, Dr. Tony Aubynn.

He pointed out that in September 2018, if Menzgold collapsed, there would be a national funeral and "maybe the biggest funeral will take place in my hometown, Tarkwa", explaining that virtually every workers from mining companies in the region have invested in Menzgold.
