Ashanti New Town — affectionately called AshTown — is not just a suburb of Kumasi. It is a powerhouse of history, resilience, culture, and greatness.
For over a century, this vibrant community has nurtured kings of influence, architects of policy, guardians of security, captains of industry, musical icons, football legends, inventors, entrepreneurs, and visionary leaders who have shaped Ghana and impacted the world. From the corridors of power to the global entertainment stage, from the pitch to Parliament, AshTown’s fingerprints are everywhere.
And now, the truth has been uncovered.
After extensive historical research, Proud Ashanti Movement has confirmed that Ashanti New Town has stood tall for 102 remarkable years.
One hundred and two years of heritage.
One hundred and two years of excellence.
One hundred and two years of producing giants.
Yet, despite this extraordinary legacy, the very soil that raised these legends continues to face persistent challenges — infrastructure gaps, youth unemployment, limited opportunities, and developmental setbacks that have lingered for far too long.
How can a town that has given Ghana so much still struggle in silence?
That question ignited a movement.
ASHTOWN @ 102 — THE LEGENDARY AWARDS
Proud Ashanti Movement is not merely celebrating an anniversary. It is launching a revolution of recognition, restoration, and rebirth.
AshTown @ 102: The Legendary Awards is a historic initiative designed to:
Honor the giants — celebrating distinguished sons and daughters of AshTown who have excelled nationally and globally.
Inspire the next generation — reminding young people that greatness is not imported; it is homegrown.
Reconnect legends to their roots — creating a powerful bridge between past achievements and present responsibility.
Drive development conversations — transforming celebration into action for long-term growth.
Reclaim community pride — restoring AshTown’s rightful position as a cradle of excellence.
This is more than an awards night.
It is a declaration.
A declaration that AshTown will no longer be known only for the greatness it exports — but also for the transformation it builds within.
The Legendary Awards will gather statesmen, ministers, MPs, security chiefs, industry leaders, creatives, sports icons, traditional authorities, and youth trailblazers under one roof — not just to receive applause, but to ignite commitment.
Because when legends return home, change begins.
AshTown @ 102 stands as a symbol of:
Heritage that cannot be erased.
Excellence that cannot be denied.
A future that cannot be postponed.
For 102 years, Ashanti New Town has raised leaders for Ghana.
Now, it is time to raise Ashanti New Town to the level it deserves.
Proud Ashanti Movement is not just celebrating history.
It is writing the next chapter.
