Afua Asantewaa has completed a five-day singing marathon that she hopes will earn her a Guinness World Record.
With a hoarse voice, and wrapped in her country’s flag, she thanked the crowd of supporters in the capital, Accra.
Clearly exhausted, the 33-year-old could barely remember what day it was.
Beginning on Christmas Eve, she beat a previous sing-a-thon record by nearly 24 hours, but has to wait to see if her effort will be officially recognised.
Asantewaa performed for 126 hours and 52 minutes. According to the rules set by Guinness World Records, she was allowed a five-minute break every hour, or 20 minutes after four hours.
