How did the accident happen?
This is following a collision between a passenger vehicle and a bus from the General Voyage agency. The tragedy occurred in the early morning of July 14 in Baré, not far from Nkongsamba in the department of Nkam (Littoral).
According to the first elements, a bus from the intercity transport agency General Voyage, which left Douala, collided with a Toyota Yaris brand passenger vehicle, in which there were five people.
Five other persons said to be in critical condition have been transported to a nearby health facility for medical attention.
The circumstances of the accident are not yet known, but the shock was fatal for the five passengers of the Yaris who all perished.
Among the victims, is comedian Blaise Kalaba, whose real name is Blaise Deffo Fosso. Trainee with our colleagues from Radio Balafon, he was one of the rising figures of humor in Cameroon.
He collaborated with the best known such as Tagne Kondom, Moustik le Karismatik… His death occurs a few days after those of Cabrel Nanjip and Samy Lenwr.
Raising awareness for road safety in Cameroon
This tragic accident highlights the urgency of increased awareness of road safety in Cameroon. It is a cruel reminder that vigilance is required on the road, for drivers and passengers alike.
We also want to send a message to all drivers and passengers in Cameroon: be careful on the roads. An emblematic figure of Cameroonian comedy, Blaise Kalaba leaves the media industry a huge void.
His sketches, which made Cameroon laugh and far beyond, are only a distant memory. His last post on social networks, published a few hours before the tragedy, testifies to his joie de vivre, contrasting cruelly with the sadness that surrounds Cameroon today.
Who was Blaise Kalaba?
Blaise Kalaba was a well-known comedian from Cameroon best known for appearing on the Rire a Gogo program on Radio Balafon.
He also used to perform on stage, and plenty of people adored him for it. Additionally, Blaise had a respectable following base across a number of social media platforms, including Facebook and YouTube, where he shared footage of his performances.
He has been active on YouTube since 2018 and frequently shares videos of his stage performances there. Blaise Deffo Fosso popularly known by the stage name Blaise Kalaba Officiel was a comedian who presented at Radio Balafon at the show “Laugh A Gogo”, also “Le Diary Du Rire” with @massa Jakob.
He was a student at Nkongsamba and the DOUALA UNIVERSITY of Fine Arts. Blaise Kalaba is considered a young wolf with very long teeth in the world of Cameroonian humor.
Without a doubt, given his brilliance and the admiration he inspires people when performing. It’s because the young comic just looks at his audience, who he constantly makes fun of using anecdotes and events they’ve had or heard.
