Video: How Raphael Dwamena’s family broke down on TV while recounting his death

Appearing alongside her mother on TV3’s Onua Maakye show, Yvonne, sister of Ghanaian international Raphael Dwamena, recounted the emotional experience of discovering the tragic news of her brother’s death through social media reports.

Both women, dressed in black mourning attire, were visibly distraught as they struggled to articulate their feelings and experiences since Raphael’s untimely death.

Yvonne stated: “Earlier on, he told me he had a match on Saturday, so, he called me again on Thursday and I gave him my well wishes. I told my mom that Nana Kwame said he had a match, and mom wished him well as always.

“On Saturday, my mom called me and asked that I check reports on Facebook. I instantly became tensed before I headed to Facebook only to confirm what had happened,” she narrated tearfully.

“I just don’t want to believe it,” she said, explaining how she had to convince her mother that Raphael was asleep and a confirmation would be made the next day.

Raphael Dwamena passed away on Saturday, November 11, 2023. He collapsed and died during a game between Egnatia Rrogozhinë and Partizani Tirana in the Abania League.

He fell during the 23rd minute of the game and received immediate medical attention after his teammates rushed to his side.

Unfortunately, much could not be done, and he kicked the bucket at the age of 28. His death is associated with his heart condition, as this is not the first time Dwamena collapsed during a game.
