The Founding Director of the Center for Ageing Studies, University of Ghana, Professor C.C Mate-Kole, has called on men of God prone to attacking the aged as witches and wizards to stop the act.
He also advised the youth to refrain from insulting older women for allegedly being witches when they cannot deal with their own ‘demons’ or issues about their lives.
He said the aged or older persons are the backbone of society and rather urged the youth to tap into their wise counsel instead of attacking them.
Prof. Mate-Kole stated this when the Adenta branch of the SDA Church inaugurated an aged club known as ”50 and counting club.”
He noted that ageing is inevitable and urged the youth to get closer to the aged to learn more from them
