Afua’s attempt to break the Guinness World Record Sing-a-thon has garnered massive support from Ghanaians across the country.
Early on Wednesday, she crossed the 72-hour mark after singing for three days straight in her bid to become the outright holder of the record, which is currently held by Indian Sunil Waghmare, who did 105 hours in 2012.
She finally ended her quest at 126 hours and 52 minutes in the early hours of Friday and is now awaiting verification by Guinness World Record judges.

Ghana’s Vice President and flagbearer of the ruling NPP Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia was also there to give morale for the record attempt.
