Tweneboah Koduah

It is with great sadness that we have to report the passing of a Landsec | Aspire collegue, known by everyone as Koduah, after a short battle with cancer.

Koduah worked as a Security Officer at 123 Victoria Street. When he joined Bidvest Noonan in 2006, he was first based at 80 Victoria Street but then moved to 123 in 2012. Sadly, he was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer recently and passed away less than two months later on 24 January.

Koduah, who had just turned 71, was born in Ghana and served for 10 years in the Ghanaian army. Then he moved to Germany, where he lived for almost 30 years. His two daughters still live in Germany and his funeral is being held there. According to his manager, Clinton Krishna, Koduah’s military training was clear to see because he was always smartly dressed, with shiny shoes. “He was also a stickler for time,” says Clinton. “If you were early, you were late for him!”

According to Clinton, Koduah was physically very strong and keeping fit was important to him. “He was never off sick,” says Clinton, “and he was one of the best workers you could hope to find in a man of his age.”

A humble and contented man, Koduah was very popular with clients and staff alike. “He was a gentleman,” says Clinton, “and the funniest guy. He had a great sense of humour – always smiling and joking. He’s missed so much. I was very fond of him.”

Koduah is survived by his wife, Florence, his two adult daughters, Cheriene and Dyan, and their children. “He was very proud of his grandchildren,” says Clinton, “and was always showing me photos of them in his wallet or on his phone.”

The Aspire community extends sincere condolences to Koduah’s family, friends and colleagues.
