Correspondence from Ashanti Region Preparations are underway at Manhyia Palace for the one-week observation of Nana Konadu Yiadom III, the late Queen Mother of Asanteman.

Her passing marks a significant loss in Ashanti history.

A visit to Manhyia Palace revealed a hive of activity as workers, artisans, and volunteers diligently completed the final preparations for the solemn event.

The tall shade trees lining the Palace walls have been draped in red and black fabric, the traditional colours of mourning in Ashanti culture, symbolizing the profound loss felt throughout the kingdom.
