I’ve not met Kafui Danku before but I spoke to her the last time I was in Ghana. We were supposed to meet up but I was flying off the same day so the meeting had to be cancelled.
From the minutes I spent on the phone with Kafui Danku (plus what I know about her), she comes across as a smart determined person and with Samira Yakubu being her current manager, I have been waiting for her to take over as the next big Ghanaian film star.
This is why I am extremely shocked and to some extent disgusted by her recent ‘business decision’ as the face of a pageant which calls itself ‘Miss Fair & White’. Kafui Danku was over the weekend crowned Miss Fair & White 2014…
Miss F&W is reported to be an initiative surrounding Fair and White Gold, a beauty product which is “designed to tone and protect the skin from the direct sun rays”. Take note of the words beauty product and tone—and you know where this is heading.
‘Fair & White’ products are for skin lightening/bleaching and that is the plain TRUTH!
In my estimation, this is all about; a company that sells bleaching/toning products seeking to gain sales by organizing a beauty pageant (probably to encourage bleaching which we now refer to as lightening/toning) and rising star Kafui Danku is proud to be associated with it.
I am sure every rational person can see where this is heading by just considering the name of the product, the pageant and what the product does. What is Fair & White? Simply google; Fair & White Beauty Products’ and see for yourself…
Is this where we are going with the fight against skin bleaching/toning?
I’ve reached out to Kafui Danku’s manager to establish if her client realizes that her association with the above pageant and product comes across as promoting skin bleaching/toning—even though we don’t have any reason to believe she is bleaching/toning her skin at the moment…
But as the e face of Fair and White products for a year, Kafui will be given F&W products to use and as an ambassador, her duty will include service to Ghanaian women and men by sharing the benefits of Fair and White products…
Even Yvonne Nelson will not allow her face to be used for a bleaching cream—despite all her unsustainable Brazilian ‘ancestors-ship’ claims…
Check out the video below of a ‘Fair & White’ bleacher…

Fair and White lotion does not bleach? Happy for her
my friend uses it its a bleaching cream mate, dont kid yourself google the ingredients on the back of pack and ul see
hmm, but the girl herself is not bleached. i know her to be a beautiful brown skin girl
@Franklyn, Are you sure she does not bleach? From the photo up there I see bleaching all written over her face. Maybe my laptop screen is the one bleaching then
@Franklyn, Whether she has bleached or not, is not the issue. The issue at hand is that she is representing a bleaching cream, and she is going to advertise for that cream so that other blind folks will buy. Now, the logical question is; how do you campaign for something (know something works) if you haven’t tried it? Either they are going to make her lie or she is GOING TO BLEACH!!! Either way you look at it; this is not good for her image!
I thought as much…
How much did they pay her for this? LOL @ Yvonne Nelson will not even allow her face to be used for this
she is a brand ambassador of the new product which does not bleach. i was at the show.
@king, She is brand ambassador for fair and white gold ultimate and that bleaches too. Evrything fair and white bleaches so stop lying to yourself man, except may you are bleaching too or you are her using a different name.
What is the name of the product she is ambassador and we will find it out on google now
It is funny how we women wants to impress people “men”. Money will kills us, yes is good as a woman to work for your own money and be come self standard so men will respect and become example for other, is good to work hard the world isn’t easy now adays but in the end you should be ble to enjoy what you’ve work for not to use it to pay hospital bills.
aww, beautiful descent girl, what is wrong with being an ambassafor for a beauty product. ghanaians lets face it, everybody knows they add all sorts of things to bleach not the fairnwhyt. dont mind them
arrh, i love this girl oo. i dont think she has bleached. i cant wait to see her again.
it will be sad for this pretty queen to join the actresses who have bleached like their leader Yvonne nelso
that cream beside her looks like a concoction.
Kafui Danku is bleached out now! If you live in Accra go to the spendstre fotostore at the Accra Mall,they have a recent picture of her in the waiting area and Man is she white,smh! Its understandable that she’ll support a cause like this because after all she is bleaching too.
every woman knows that fair and white is a bleaching cream.
This is a good contest for alternative forms of Beauty. Different women have different tones, shapes and sizes and should be appreciated whatever their physical appearances.
This is girl for real at all? What the hell is wrong with her? You are the face of a bleaching cream? Who even does that and she will soon be talking about her brand or image. Your brand is bleaching MAMA
Why use a cream for toning and protecting direct sun rays on skin when we black people are filled with the natural sun screen MELANIN? we have something special that we take for granted. The only Good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance!
i use and deal in these products. it is not a bleaching cream. shame on u haters. she landed a good deal and people are just jealous
@uche, oh please,give us a break! How do u even understand the word ‘fair and white’? The name speaks for itself,and don’t u call anyone ‘hater’,she’s one of our own..nobody hates her.
Congratualation my girl, don’t mind them we love her
kafui is a beautiful girl who knows wat she’s about…she can even decide to be the face of waste companies dats none of your business….she wd continue to be BIG….either support or motivate but for condemnation…you have a loooooooong way to catch up with Kafui
kafui is black and proud, she is not bleaching, just and ambassador of a great brand that sell different products for diffrent classes of people, “the good, the bad, the ugly, the mad, the fine, the beautiful, the toners, etc. Good job, keep it up.
its sad that she had to audition and go through beauty pageant test to become the face of bleaching cream.
people can be so judgemental n the first to criticise others, if shz the brand ambassador for such a product then good for her n let her be its not like shz a child were by she doesn’t know wat shz doing,shz an adult n wetha pipo tok nothing will change, if people wanna bleach let them bleach man, its so annoying with all these critics, acting all perfect gosh let the sleeping dog lie goddammit
There is nothing bad in wat she did.am aso contesting for miss fair nd white Gold Nigerian.Up fair and white
