Kofi Middleton Mends died of kidney failure - Daughter confirms
Veteran actor Kofi Middleton Mends died of kidney
failure, his daughter has disclosed to
Myjoyonline.com.

The veteran actor’s first child, Araba
Botchwey, disclosed in an interview with
Myjoyonline.com Wednesday morning that her late
dad had been battling kidney disease for some time
now and was on dialysis when he passed away.

He had been in and out of hospital for about two
years and was rushed to the Korle Bu Teaching
Hospital Monday dawn where he passed away at 4pm
that day.

The respected actor well-known for his catch
phrase, “Sarah, my socks” and the television
commercial for Key Soap had been off the
television screens for some years now.

He is also known for his role in Grey Dawn (2015)
and No Tears for Ananse (1968).

The late Kofi Middleton Mends was a lecturer at
the National Film and Television Institute (NAFTI)
and the University of Ghana. He stopped lecturing
about two years ago.

Araba Botchwey told Myjoyonline.com that one of
her fond memories of her dad was his attention to
the use of words and the English language.

“Whenever he tells you bring that brown
dictionary, then know that you have pronounced a
word wrongly,” she recalled.

Kofi Middleton Mends turned 77 in June this year
and is survived by a wife and three children. He
had five children but two had passed.
