Despite her disqualification by Guinness World Records, Ghanaian Afua Asantewaa, has announced plans to host another edition of her sing-a-thon in Kumasi this December.
It would be recalled that in December 2023, Afua captivated the nation with her attempt to surpass Sunil Waghmare’s record for the longest singing marathon by an individual.
But her dedicated five-day effort was ultimately disqualified by Guinness World Records for breaking certain rules during the competition.
However, during an interview with Akoma FM on October 23, 2024, the tourism ambassador revealed that she has received clearance from Guinness World Records to host another sing-a-thon in Kumasi.
“I can tell you on your show that, God willing, in December, I will be hosting another sing-a-thon, but this time I’m planning to do it in Kumasi.”
“My team and I are conducting a feasibility study to determine the best location in the city for the event.
“This will allow the local community to experience the show and enhance my role as a tourism ambassador,” she announced.
Afua emphasised that her initial disqualification has not deterred her ambition to become a Guinness World Record holder.
“The fact that I was not successful in my first attempt shouldn’t be a barrier to my quest of becoming a Guinness World Record holder,” she stated.
She also mentioned that a press conference will be held to officially launch the upcoming sing-a-thon.
