Kimathi Rawlings Weds in Private Ceremony

Kimathi Rawlings, the youngest son of Ghana’s late former President, Flt. Lt. Jerry John Rawlings, has tied the knot in a quiet and private ceremony, marking a rare public moment for one of the country’s most well-known yet discreet families.

Although the exact date, location, and identity of his bride remain undisclosed, a short video circulating on social media shows Kimathi beaming as he danced joyfully with a woman presumed to be his new wife. The footage also captured his sisters — Zanetor, Yaa Asantewaa, and Amina Rawlings — cheering him on from the sidelines, highlighting the close bond shared by the Rawlings siblings.

The ceremony, true to the family's preference for privacy, was not publicly announced. However, it has been warmly received by many Ghanaians, who continue to take interest in the lives of the Rawlings children following the passing of their father in November 2020.

Kimathi, who keeps a low profile compared to his eldest sister, Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings — Member of Parliament for Korle Klottey — is known to have pursued a career in technology and business.

The event signifies a new chapter in Kimathi’s life and offers a moment of celebration for the Rawlings family, whose legacy continues to shape Ghanaian society. Despite public curiosity, the family’s silence on further details reaffirms their commitment to a dignified and private life following the loss of their patriarch.

The late President Rawlings, Ghana’s longest-serving head of state, remains a towering figure in the country’s political history, and his family, led by widow Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, continues to honour that legacy with grace and discretion.
