Speaking to TshisaLIVE before leaving it all on stage, Ghanaian superstar Sakordie said lending his voice to causes that matter started a long time ago for him. He said while he initially had an issue with helping people and then putting that on display, he recognised the power of big platforms and how they can bring bigger help to those in need.
“On my own, as soon as I had resources, I wanted to reach out to the less privileged. Personally, I always had this philosophy that you don't put on the camera when you help but I think, as much as that is true, God gave us this position to drive awareness to important matters, and sometimes to help as many people as possible. Collaborations are necessary.
