A traditional ritual allowing the Asantehene to cross the Pra River has sparked widespread online reactions, drawing attention to the severe pollution caused by illegal mining, or Galamsey.
This ritual, a long-standing tradition performed whenever the Asantehene crosses from Asante territory into neighboring lands, gained unusual traction due to the current state of the river.
Once a symbol of natural beauty and cultural heritage, the Pra River is now heavily contaminated, prompting outrage and concern among netizens. Many questioned how a sacred waterway could be allowed to deteriorate so drastically, while others highlighted the lack of effective action against galamsey.
The discourse reflects a growing frustration over environmental degradation and the perceived inadequacy of measures to protect Ghana’s natural resources.
Calls for stronger enforcement and community engagement in tackling illegal mining have intensified, with some urging traditional leaders to take a more active stance.
