Asanteman Mourns: Asantehemaa Was A Member of Saviour Church Ghana For 66 Years
The late Queen of the Asante Kingdom, Nana Konadu Yiadom III, was an honourable and recognised member of The Saviour Church Ghana.
She received the teaching of the church, subscribed and fellowshipped with it for the remarkable last 66 years of her life.
Her Majesty was a highly committed member of the Church, according to the General Superintendent of the religious body, Hon Opanin Abraham Kwaku Adusei.
According to him, the revered Queen lived a Christ-fulfilling life as she cultivated a personal relationship with God through prayer, scripture, and worship and remained committed and loyal to the church’s teachings.
Delivering a sermon at a memorial service in honour of the late Queen, Hon Opanin Kwaku Adusei said, “She has finished her work. We pray that God find her righteous for following Him during her days.”
The Asantehemaa passed away on August 7, 2025, peacefully at her residence at the Manhyia Palace after reigning for eight years.
This was formally conveyed to the Asanteman Council on August 11, 2025, during an emergency meeting.
The Manhyia Palace has scheduled Thursday, August 21, 2025, for the one-week observation of the late Queen.
About Nana Konadu Yiadom III
Born in 1927 at the Benyaade Shrine in Meredane, a small town in Kwadaso, Kumasi, Nana Konadu Yiadom III was the first daughter of Nana Afia Kobi Serwaa Ampem II and Opanin Kofi Fofie. As an infant, she was entrusted to her aunt, Nana Afia Konadu, in Ashanti New Town, Kumasi, where she grew up receiving an informal education rich in cultural knowledge, discipline, and life skills.
During her teenage years, she underwent traditional puberty rites alongside her niece, Nana Abena Ansa, and later married Opanin Kwame Boateng, a blacksmith from Aduman, Kumasi. Known for her humility, compassion, and fairness, she earned deep respect across Asanteman.
In the mid-1990s, a prophecy foretold her future as Queen—a prediction fulfilled when she ascended the Nyarko Kusiamoah and Konadu Yiadom Stool on February 6, 2017, becoming the fourteenth Asantehemaa.
Her reign was distinguished by her advocacy for maternal health, promotion of breastfeeding, support for hospitals, and her efforts to maintain peace and unity within the Kingdom.
