Ho, May 29, GNA – Dealers in television sets in the Ho Metropolis are making brisk business as many people, especially young adults are demanding the sets ahead of the World Cup next month.
The demand according to some of the dealers is on the high for 24 and 28 inch television sets.
Mr John Dzotsi, a dealer told GNA Sports that for the past two weeks he bought 45 television sets from Togo for some students of the Ho Polytechnic. He said so far he has another requests for 30 sets be supplied by next week.
Mr Dzotsi said some people who cannot readily afford to buy the brand new sets have opted to go in for slightly used ones popularly known as ‘home used’ ones with clear pictures to savour the event. Samuel Kugbadzor, another dealer who is also a television repairer said he sold 15 of the slightly used televisions within the last two weeks. He said some people who have problems with their television sets have also brought them for repairs at his shop demanding that the problems be resolved before the “big game.”
Mr Charles Mensah, a football fanatic said he has the hope that he would get a digital box to watch all the matches. He said he has already erected a new antenna to ensure he gets clear pictures of the matches. Meanwhile, the World Cup and the exploits and chances of the senior national team, the Black Stars has become the talk of the Metropolis. 29 May 10
