Angola posthumously honours Captain Kojo Tsikata with state medal


Read Time: 2 minutes

The government and people of Angola have posthumously conferred yet another national honour on Captain Kojo Tsikata in recognition of his historic role in the country’s liberation struggle.

The award was presented at a solemn ceremony held last Thursday, 29th May 2025, in Luanda, the Angolan capital. Mandla Qassim Tsikata, who attended the event in honour of the former Ghanaian intelligence chief and revolutionary, received the medal on behalf of his late father.

Captain Tsikata, who was widely known among Angolan fighters as “Carlos Silva”, was a celebrated ally of the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA).

He had previously been decorated with several of Angola’s highest honours, including the Solidarity Award, for his unwavering commitment to the country’s fight against Portuguese colonialism.

In addition to Angolan honours, Tsikata also held the prestigious Order of “Carlos Manuel de Céspedes”, bestowed upon him by the Council of State of the Republic of Cuba, further affirming his international stature in revolutionary circles.
