Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings: The Dying Ghana No One Is Talking About | Sabotaged By My Own People

Today’s guest is someone whose life story is deeply tied to Ghana’s history—yet her voice is carving out a future that looks very different.It’s an honour to welcome Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, daughter of Ghana’s longest serving and late revolutionary president, Flt. Lt. J.J Rawlings to Talk No Dey Cook Rice Podcast.Growing up in the shadow of power, Dr. Zanetor has lived through experiences most of us can only imagine—from being treated unfairly in school because of her father’s politics, to learning how to fly planes just to break gender stereotypes.But her story goes way beyond her family name. It’s about resilience, responsibility, and reimagining leadership in Ghana.From fighting for women’s representation in politics, to challenging the neglect of queen mothers in governance, to calling out the uncomfortable truths about indiscipline in schools, drugs among students, and the failures of political accountability—Zanetor doesn’t hold back.So in this conversation, we cover:What it was really like growing up as Rawlings’ daughter.Why women are often “used” in politics but sidelined afterward.The real reason her dad taught her to pilot aircrafts. The urgent crisis of drugs and indiscipline in Ghanaian schools.Why democracy without responsibility is dangerous.What true good governance should look like in Ghana…and so much more.What I appreciate most about Dr. Zanetor is that she’s unafraid. She speaks her truth with courage, yet with clarity and vision for the Ghana we could build if we chose responsibility over rhetoric.This conversation will challenge how you see politics, leadership, and even yourself.Want this podcast in video form?
