Ghana’s Afronita, Abigail makes Africa proud at 2024 BGT

Abigail and Afronita

Ghanaian dance duo Afronita and Abigail dazzled at this year’s 2024 Britain’s Got Talent (BGT) show after placing third in a grueling finale on Sunday.

Right from the auditioning stage, the duo had been the toast of fans with their energetic dance moves and creativity on stage, earning them a place at the finals of the global talent show.

As expected, they wowed the judges and audience with their stage craft and electrifying performance, raising high the flag of Ghana and Africa at large as they emerged among the top three out of the 10 final­ists.

Singer Sydnie Christmas took the top prize while magician Jack Rhodes came second with dancers Abi­gail and Afronita settling for the third position.

Though many Ghanaians expected them to win, the third position was still a significant feat for the Africans on that global stage.

They had since massive plaudits from Ghanaians home and abroad for making a statement on the global platform.

The winner of the 17th series of BGT, Sydnie Christ­mas received a cash prize of £250,000 and the chance to perform at the Royal Variety Performance.

Though Afronita and Abigail missed out on the top prize, it was a great experience for the duo as they would ride on the exposure to attempt other global events.
