Presidents, judges, poets, engineers, surgeons, footballers.
The Class of 2016
The next entry in that ledger.
Mfantsipim School — founded in 1876 — is the oldest secondary school in Ghana. To be an old boy of Mfantsipim is to step into a lineage that includes presidents, judges, poets, engineers, surgeons, footballers, and the people who quietly shape this country.
The Class of 2016 is the next entry in that ledger. The induction on 4 July 2026 wrote our name in.

Man Botwe
The shoulders the year group stands on.
“Now we carry the world on our shoulders with resolve, discipline, and brotherhood.”
Man Botwe stands at the threshold of Kwabotwe — a figure carved from the spirit of every cohort that has passed through. He is the conscience the school instilled in us: a posture of service, the steady weight of doing the right thing when no one is watching, the refusal to flinch.
MOBA 2016 walked into induction year carrying that posture. The world we're stepping into is heavier than the classroom we left. The school taught us how to hold it.
