Counsellor Kweku Adumatta reportedly dies after a short illness

Ghanaian relationship and marriage counsellor, motivational speaker and life coach, Kweku Adumatta, popularly known as Uncle Kweku Adumatta, has reportedly died after a short illness.

He is said to have passed away on Tuesday, November 10, 2026. Details surrounding his death were not immediately available.

Adumatta was a familiar voice on Ghanaian radio and television, where he regularly shared advice on relationships, marriage, personal development and family life.

His media appearances included programmes on UTV, Joy Prime, Happy FM and Onua FM, through which he reached audiences with counsel on the challenges of building and sustaining relationships.

He often urged couples to move beyond selfishness, make room for compromise and understand the differences in their backgrounds when building a life together.

A central theme of his counselling was that marriage should be approached as a lifelong commitment rather than a casual arrangement. He also promoted his “3Ds” concept — defining, determining and developing oneself before entering marriage — as a guide to personal preparation.

His views on marriage occasionally generated public debate. In September 2025, for instance, he attracted attention after arguing that marriage should be treated as a sacred covenant rather than a contract during an appearance on The Real Talk Podcast.

Beyond broadcasting, Adumatta was involved in training, public speaking and personal development programmes. His work covered areas such as stress management, anger control, self-improvement and entrepreneurship.

He also addressed corporate gatherings, mass weddings and women's empowerment events, using those platforms to share lessons on personal growth and relationships.

In addition to his counselling work, he was described as an author and management consultant, with professional involvement in training and consultancy.
