4 h. ago Asante Queen Mother’s Death Silences the Heartbeat of a Kingdom

The passing of Nana Konadu Yiadom III, the Asantehemaa, is not just the end of a long life but a profound seismic moment of transition for the Asante Kingdom and the Republic of Ghana. Her death at 98 years old, after a reign marked by grace and wisdom, highlights the enduring power and relevance of traditional institutions in a rapidly changing world. The sorrow expressed is not just for a Queen Mother, but for a mother of the nation, a figure whose counsel and character touched lives far beyond the walls of Manhyia Palace. It is important to note that while the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, officially announced her death to the Asanteman Traditional Council on Monday, August 11, 2025, she had passed away four days earlier, on Thursday, August 7, 2025. This customary delay between the passing of a royal and the public announcement allows for the observation of specific traditional rites and protocols that precede such a significant public declaration.
