The Kwajo Tweneboa interview: “We’re meant to be in 2023. This is like Victorian slum housing”
“Kwajo Tweneboa was forced to become an activist after watching his father die in a flat that was not fit to live in. He tells Tali Fraser about the pressure he’s under as he fights for a good home for all – and why he feels let down by Labour.
At the bottom of the stairs in Kwajo Tweneboa’s flat there is a patch of mould where the coats should hang. It is where some of his father’s things had been hanging since he died from cancer in January 2020.
A few months ago Tweneboa, 24, went to take his father’s belongings down – they were some of the clothes he wore most and things that Tweneboa wanted to keep for himself – but as he lifted them off the hook he found that they were stuck to the wall. Peeling them off revealed the patch of mould on the wall that is staring at us now.”
