The government of South Africa has reportedly returned some British-looted Asante artefacts in their custody to Ghana.

The artefacts, which include gold, bronze artefacts, and silver ornaments, were among the items taken by British soldiers during the Sagrenti War in 1874 when they invaded the Asante Kingdom.

According to opemsuo.com, the artefacts that have been returned from South Africa include linguist staff, swords, palace security locks, rings, necklaces, and proverbial gold weights depicting crocodiles and gold sandals.

The items are expected to be officially handed over in the course of the weekend.
