Member of Parliament for Klottey Korle constituency, Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings recently revealed that during her three-year tenure at Wesley Girls’ Senior High School, she did not receive any romantic proposals from male students.
She attributed this to the school’s strict disciplinary rules, which limited interactions with students from other schools.
Speaking on the Starr Chat show hosted by Bola Ray, Zanetor mentioned that Wesley Girls had strict protocols for visiting days, requiring visitors to register and be summoned by senior students.
This structured environment, she explained, restricted opportunities for casual interactions, including romantic ones.
Regarding a controversial incident involving a former boyfriend, Selassie O’Sullivan-Djentuh, who claimed he was assaulted and had his hair shaved by soldiers allegedly on orders from her father, the late former President Jerry John Rawlings, Zanetor clarified that the incident occurred after she had ended her relationship with Selassie.
She asserted that the incident was related to a land dispute and emphasized that her father was not involved.
Zanetor expressed frustration that the true version of events was overshadowed by sensationalism and political narratives at the time, reflecting on how this affected her personally during her youth.
“During your time at Wesley Girls, did any guy ever approach you with a compliment about your beauty, expressing a desire to date you or be your boyfriend?”
Zanetor, maintaining her composure, replied, “No, but at Wesley Girls, visiting days were restricted; you couldn’t just turn up unannounced. Upon arrival, there was a procedure involving a table manned by senior students where visitors had to register their details and whom they intended to visit, after which the student would be summoned.
“So, it was a structured process. And it wasn’t exclusive to me, by the way. That was the standard protocol. Perhaps I was simply naive, but the opportunities for interaction were indeed limited.”
