The Head Boy of Mfantsipim School, Isaac Kontan Asare, stole the spotlight during the school’s 150th Anniversary celebration with an impressive speech delivered in over 10 foreign languages.
The celebration, organised in collaboration with the Mfantsipim Old Boys Association (MOBA), Cape Coast, featured several dignitaries but it was the Head Boy’s remarkable display of linguistic skills that left many attendees stunned.
Among the dignitaries present were the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Vice President of the Republic of Ghana, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, the Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu and several other distinguished guests.
The outstanding performance appeared to impress the dignitaries, with Otumfuo Osei Tutu II at one point breaking into a broad smile and whispering something to the education minister, who was seated beside him.
Asare mounted the podium without appearing to have a script. However, it remains unclear whether he used a teleprompter or delivered the speech entirely from memory.
