Kantanka Automobile, an indigenous Ghanaian car manufacturing company founded by Apostle Dr. Ing. Kwadwo Safo Kantanka, is exemplifying the notion that "Africans are capable of managing their own affairs." For centuries, the global north, primarily Europe, America, and Asia, has dominated the car manufacturing industry. However, Kantanka Automobile has recently emerged as a manufacturer of some of the world's finest cars, utilizing local components and human resources.
