Old fridge used by the Asantehene

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that the refrigerator that former Kings of Asantehene used is 74 years old and still in use.

The antique fridge was displayed in a video shared by TV3 after presenter Anita Akuffo visited the museum following Otumfuo Osei Tutu II's 25th-anniversary durbar.

The refrigerator was bought in 1950, during Nana Osei Agyeman Prempeh II's reign, and has not undergone any major repairs since then.
