won’t give up, watch out for my next attempt – Afua Asantewaa
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.
