The Paramount Chief of Kpembe Traditional Area, Kpembewura Banbange Ndefoso IV, has attributed the absence of chieftaincy conflicts in Gonjaland to a well-structured rotational succession system documented both orally and in writing.
Speaking during a courtesy visit by Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) officials ahead of the 2025 Emancipation and Panafest celebrations, the Kpembewura explained: “Our kingdom operates like a triangle – the Yagbonwura’s throne rotates systematically among his sons, with Daboya chief as first in line, myself (Kpembewura) as second, down to Kusaug as last born.”
The chief highlighted Salaga’s historical significance as a major slave trade hub, noting: “When we mention slave trade, Salaga should come first. This area contains untapped tourist attractions directly linked to that dark chapter.”
GTA CEO Maame Houadjeto (represented by Deputy CEO Gilbert Abeiku Aggrey Santana) emphasized Panafest’s role in reconnecting Africans divided by the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, pledging to develop Salaga’s heritage sites.
