The Paramount Chief of the Oguaa Traditional Area, Osabarimba Kwesi Atta, has welcomed the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, to the Emintsimadze Palace in Cape Coast for Mfantsipim School’s 150th anniversary celebration.
The brief but colourful reception brought together traditional leaders, schoolchildren and a troupe from the Centre for National Culture, whose drumming and singing added to the atmosphere.
In keeping with tradition, Osabarimba Kwesi Atta offered the Asantehene water (brɛsuo) and assorted drinks as a gesture of welcome. Otumfuo reciprocated by presenting drinks to the palace.
The Asantehene is the guest speaker at the grand durbar marking the school’s 150th anniversary, which is taking place in Cape Coast on Saturday, November 14, 2026.
