The studio, which housed most of  Bob Marley\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s original tapes, was due for commissioning late last year,  but was postponed for some personal reasons. Rita Marley has been in and  out of Ghana after her virtual relocation to the country and the  commencement of the studio project, following the death of her husband.<\/p>\n<p>She  has blended in so well with the locals, that she was bestowed a  chieftaincy title in the Aburi area. The 64-year-old married Bob in 1966  and has 6 children. Her eldest child, Sharon who came to Ghana  following the incident, received the HD PVR decoder on behalf of Rita  Marley at her other residence in Prampram. <\/p>\n<p>Sharon was very  grateful at the kind gesture from DStv and she used the opportunity to  thank Ghanaians for their support for her mother following the tragedy.  \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cI am glad to know that people have her in their thoughts. She loves  Ghana tremendously, and we couldn\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t get her away from Ghana even if we  tried. After the fire, my sisters asked me to go get mum and I was like,  \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00cb\u0153You think she is going to come?\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d, she commented.<\/p>\n<p>According to  Sharon, Rita Marley took over ten years to put up the studio which was  dear to her heart but she has fully come to terms with her loss and  would gradually rebuild it. She also revealed that her mother is a big  fan of sports, particularly boxing and that she would love to watch that  on her new DStv HD\/PVR decoder. <\/p>\n<p>Edward Owusu, the Marketing  Manager of DStv Ghana commented: \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cFor us at DStv Ghana, we are proud  that she is based in Ghana because it has a relationship with the  content that we provide. We are proud of hosting her in Ghana and so  when this incident happened, we were really touched. It is unfortunate  what happened and she has our support.\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-243453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
