Ananse Intelligence · Summary

Ho is the capital of the Volta Region, and the "approximately 35 km south" in your question points to one of the towns on the road running south from it — most likely **Sokpoe, Adaklu-Waya or Tsrefe**, all roughly 30–40 km down the Ho–Sogakope corridor. If you meant a specific settlement, tell me which and I'll profile it properly. Ho itself sits in the Volta Togoland hills, about 160 km north-east of Accra, and became regional capital when the Volta Region was carved out in 1959–60. It is the heartland of the Ewe people — the language, the borborbor rhythm, the agbadza drumming and the kente woven at Kpetoe all radiate from here. The town is anchored by the Ho Central Market, the Ho Teaching Hospital (formerly the Volta Regional Hospital), and the Ho Sports Stadium, which today is hosting Day Two of the Republic Bank–JoyNews Habitat Fair, drawing crowds into the regional capital. South of Ho the land opens into the Adaklu plains and the Tovego hills. The main settlements along that southern stretch include **Sokpoe**, a busy market town on the Ho–Sogakope road; **Adaklu-Waya**, seat of the Adaklu Traditional Area; and **Tsrefe**, near the junction toward Keta and the coast. The Adaklu people are a distinct Guan-Ewe group with their own paramountcy, and the area is known for cassava, maize and palm produce. The road south is the region's lifeline — it links Ho to Sogakope, the Sogakope Bridge over the Volta, and onward to Accra and the Keta–Aflao coast. If you're planning a trip or need the profile of a particular town on that stretch, name it and I'll give you the full picture — chiefs, festivals, schools, markets and all.
