An African king rules his people from Germany by Skype

 In his royal full garb, Sivas Bansah governs and manages the affairs of his adult congregation of more than two million Ghanaians and Togo, where they lead two contradictory lives: a part-time king and a full-time mechanical repairman.

Although he is considered "the greatest and spiritual king of the Io people" in Togo, this king also works as a mechanical repairman in Germany and governs his flock via Skype, according to the British newspaper Daily Mail, Thursday.

Although the 67-year-old king bears the full title of "King Togbe Ngorieva Sivas Kusi Bansah", he spends most of his time wearing a workshop suit and fixing while fixing cars.

Sivas grew up in Ghana, and was installed as king on the throne of his people, and his kingdom in eastern Ghana is called “Kebbi”. He moved to Germany in 1971 when his grandfather, the former king, encouraged him to train there as a car repair professional.

After completing his studies and obtaining German citizenship, he established a private car repair garage in Ludwigshafen.

News tweets follow the life of this African king, who "divides his time between the auto repair shop and the rule of his people."

Bansah lived a quiet life until 1987, when he received a fax that changed the course of his life forever. His grandfather died, the king of “he he” tribes, and his father and elder brother did not choose to take over the kingdom’s throne because they were left-handed, meaning they used the left hand to eat and write, which makes them “unclean” in the eyes of the people.

And Sivas suddenly found himself the heir to the throne of his grandfather and the new king of his people. And Bansah prefers, according to German media, to rule his people through social media.

The king is currently living in Germany with his wife Gabriel Bansah, "57," his son Carlo and his daughter Katharina. He is pursuing a career in car maintenance and his role in managing the reins of the king.

And via Skype, he follows the affairs of the parish and visits his native Ghana eight times a year.

As part of his “royal job,” this mechanic is launching relief projects that include building schools, and is currently busy collecting money to build a women's prison.

Although Ghana is a country with a democratic system of government, traditional kings here play an important role within their societies that they organize and sponsor.

To fund his relief campaigns and projects, Sivas makes beer or alcoholic beer and sells it even though he does not taste alcohol nor puts it in his mouth
