43 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.

9 d. ago Honouring a Legend: Why Ghana must honour Daddy Lumba with a Posthumous PhD

I met Charles Kwadwo Fosu, affectionately known as Daddy Lumba, in 1992 when I interviewed him for the debut issue of the first Black Magazine in Germany, a publication I had founded to spotlight African voices in the diaspora. That encounter turned out to be far more than a journalistic assignment; it was the beginning of a lifelong friendship. Not long after, we embarked on a concert tour across Hamburg, Düsseldorf, and Amsterdam, with Lumba’s background vocalist, Afia Ampofowaa, on stage. I had the honour of managing that tour, and the performances were unforgettable—each city welcoming us with sold-out venues and electric crowds. Lumba was undoubtedly a star, but to me, he was more than that. He was a brother, a fellow "Borga" navigating life in a foreign land, and above all, a friend. And today, with a heavy heart, I write not just as a journalist, but as someone who loved him and his music deeply.
