Private legal practitioner, Kofi Bentil is celebrating Afua Asantewaa, a Ghanaian woman, for attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the longest Sing-A-Thon.
He says Asantewaa is already a winner.
“The most compelling act this season was not a great performer but a lady who demonstrated determination to achieve her goal even if her voice was gone. Point is, it’s not about how pretty your journey is, but that you start, you persist and finish!! Afua is already a winner #singathon,” he wrote on Facebook.
Former President John Dramani Mahama also observed that her effort has brought global attention to Ghana and a chance to showcase the strength, agency, and industry of Ghanaian women.
“Afua Asantewaa, a young Ghanaian woman, is on her fourth day of attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the longest Sing-A-Thon. She has some 25 hours left to break the existing record and her tenacity is worth celebrating.
