Popular Ghanaian actor Komfo Kolege is mourning the death of his mother, Madam Afia Pokuaa, who passed away on Thursday, June 12, 2025. The tragic news has further deepened the actor’s long-standing emotional struggles following the loss of his wife and unborn child in November 2022.

In a heartfelt conversation with fellow actor Kwaku Manu, captured in a recent video, Kolege opened up about the devastating impact the new loss has had on his emotional state. “I haven’t even healed from losing my wife and unborn child,” he said tearfully, describing his pain as overwhelming and unrelenting.

The actor’s wife died during childbirth in late 2022, a trauma that Kolege has openly discussed in previous interviews. An autopsy revealed that the intense labor pain caused a rush of blood to her brain, tearing vital nerves and resulting in her sudden death.

The recent death of Madam Pokuaa, who lived a private life but was a strong pillar in Kolege’s personal life, has reopened emotional wounds. Fans recall the actor’s touching Mother’s Day tribute to her just weeks ago, where he expressed deep appreciation for her love and support.

Kolege’s story continues to resonate with many Ghanaians, who have expressed solidarity and compassion on social media.

As the actor navigates this new chapter of grief, supporters are calling for empathy and continued support for a man who has endured more than his share of personal tragedy.
