Franklin Ndzi Nformi aka Ta Shey Frank has won the prestigious peace award for promoting and advocating for Peace through football. He was voted by readers of The Voice newspaper, a bi-weekly English language newspaper and he personally received the distinction on December
11, 2021 in Yaounde. Ta Shey Frank received the award from the hands of CAMASEJ President Viban Jude during a fun-filled event that was described by expressionists as a milestone of the year.
Worthy to note that Ta Shey Frank for close to two years has devoted his time in sponsoring the football for peace tournament in Nkambe. The football for peace programme recently expanded from being only played in Nkambe town to Konchep village. And the program which started with two categories has reached put to thousands of youth in four different categories ranging from U12, U17, U20 and the major category.
The idea to instill the notion of peace which began with winning prizes of two packets of candies( sweets) during this summer holidays handed over four trophies and recorded about 40 participating teams. The spillover impact of the programme is much more than tremendous in communities. What a better way to build peace, and what a wonderful idea of molding a generation void of violence.
