†January 23, 2025

Mrs Sadi Yaa Korantema Atim passed away in London after a short illness. Sadi was the wife of Dr Chris Atim, a health economist of international repute, a native of Bulsa, Gbedema, and one of the original seven members of the Provisional National Defence Council, PNDC, which took power on December 31, 1981, with Flt. Lt. Jerry John Rawlings as Chairman and head of state. A loving wife, mother, and a woman of great strength Sadi, in the words of her husband, “…was like the ray of light that streaks through the window in the early morning, lifting the dawn’s darkness, and heralding the start of a bright new day ahead…/ she had an unquenchable optimism… fortitude, resilience … unfailing compassion, kindness and empathy …” were some of her extraordinary qualities. Dr Chris Atim’s wife of 45 years, Mrs Sadi Yaa Korantema Atim, was the bedrock of the Atim family, which is blessed with two children, Chris Jnr Atim and Malaika Atim.
On September 6, 2025, a memorial thanksgiving service was held in her honour at St. Michael’s Catholic Church, Burma Camp, Accra. It was followed by the traditional funeral rites. May her beautiful soul rest in peace.
