Afua Asantewaa

Guinness World Record (GWR) Sing-a-thon attempter, Afua Asantewaa says she is unperturbed by the dis­qualification and is set to take up another challenge soon.

Social media went ‘wild’ last Friday following the announcement by the world body, that Afua As­antewaa’s five-day singing marathon to break a world record had been unsuc­cessful following a review.

While many sympathised with her, others descended heavily on her, suggesting that she had the news and kept it away from the supportive public.

Speaking to The Specta­tor Agoro, Afua explained that, she did not withhold the results but rather could not access her ac­count.

“There is no way I could hold onto a result such as this. I am a very strong person­ality and I believe in not giving up and regardless of the outcome, be it suc­cessful or not I would have still shared with Ghanaians anyway,” she explained.

“As I sit here, I do not have an official document to even post on my social media that this is my dis­qualification letter, I can’t access my account,” she added.

Afua said she would soon announce her next line of action which may be a consideration of a new challenge.

“If I have to do it over and over again till I get it right, I would. There is a lot that I have learnt from the attempt and would work on it in my next chal­lenge,” she stated.

She also apologised to Ghanaians for the un­successful attempt and expressed gratitude for the massive support and endorsement.

Afua in December 2023 gave Ghanaians a Christmas des­tination as thou­sands troop to the Akwaaba Village in Accra to cheer her during the five-day Sing-a-thon attempt.
