Henrietta Twum, popularly known as Maame Afia Konadu, former host of Peace FM's award-winning social-related programmes; 'Wo haw ne sɛn?', 'Mpom Te Sɛn' and 'Asomdwee NkomƆ', has passed onto eternal glory.
She died on Wednesday May 1, 2019 in the United States of America (USA) following a short ailment.
She would have turned 69 in November, this year.
In 2015, workers and management of PEACE FM said goodbye to the iconic radio personality when she retired at the age of 65.
Maa, as we all call her, started as a teacher and then went on to work with the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC).
Few years later, she was invited by Dr. Osei Kwame Despite to help in running PEACE FM which was then a 'baby'.
Celebrating her 65th birthday on Tuesday, 17th November 2015, she told Kwami Sefa Kayi, host of Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo' that she has "done my part, I am tired and it is time for me to leave and for somebody else to take over."
She retired peacefully then.
Below are pictures from her 65th Birthday celebration

Hmmmm, I started listening to you when I was young. Your programme was handled on free and fair grounds without provocations and any political discourse.
I remember year 2000 elections when people kept in their homes because they were afraid of the then 'macho'guys who were carrying ballot boxes and intimidating voters ( I mean the run off time)
you encouraged Ghanaians to put fear aside to come out from their shelves and vote for a candidate of their choice.
Kudos Maa. Nyame nfa wo nsie.
Job well executed.
You have done your best for mother Ghana. Your programmes were educative and we hardly missed the health programm 'Wumpom ti sen'. May your soul rest in peace
Still too young to go. But rest in peace, maame afua
