Nafisa Mahama, the eldest daughter of Ghanaian businessman Ibrahim Mahama, made a rare public appearance at the 5th anniversary launch and durbar of Dzata Cement, a wholly Ghanaian-owned cement producer based in Tema. The company, which is owned by her father, marked the milestone with a special event. Nafisa, also known as Nafi, serves as the Managing Director of Dzata Cement. Her presence at the event drew attention from social media users, who reacted to a live video shared by blogger GH Hyper on Instagram.
Dzata Cement's 5th anniversary celebration included a launch and durbar event, which was attended by various guests. Nafisa Mahama was spotted arriving at the event, wearing a white polo shirt with the anniversary branding, a black headband, and carrying a folder. She stood on a red carpet in front of a backdrop bearing the Dzata Cement lion logo and a large number five. Other guests at the event were also dressed in branded polo shirts. The video of her arrival quickly gained traction online.
Social media users had various reactions to Nafisa Mahama's appearance at the event. Some users praised her simple look, with one commenter describing her as "the simplest rich man's child" they had seen. Others joked that she resembled Ghana's first president, Kwame Nkrumah. The reactions were shared on Instagram, where the live video was posted. Nafisa Mahama's public appearances are rare, which may have contributed to the interest in her attendance at the Dzata Cement event.
This is not the first time Nafisa Mahama has made a public appearance with her father. In July 2025, Ibrahim Mahama and his daughter Nafi attended the signing ceremony of his Black Volta gold project. At that event, Nafi wore a black custom-branded Dzata Cement Lacoste and interacted with other attendees. The video of their appearance at that event was also shared online and drew reactions from social media users.
Dzata Cement, owned by Ibrahim Mahama, is a significant player in Ghana's cement industry. The company presents itself as a wholly Ghanaian-owned cement producer and has received attention from government officials. In May 2021, then Trade Minister Alan Kyerematen visited the Dzata Cement plant and described it as Ghana's first wholly Ghanaian-owned cement production factory.
Nafisa Mahama's role at Dzata Cement is that of Managing Director, according to an earlier report by YEN.com.gh. Her involvement in the company suggests that she may be playing a key role in its operations. However, more information about her specific responsibilities and experience is not readily available.
The 5th anniversary celebration of Dzata Cement marks a significant milestone for the company. As a wholly Ghanaian-owned cement producer, Dzata Cement may be seen as an important contributor to Ghana's economy and industrial sector.
