Moses, who had being doing pretty well from the beginning, won the hearts of many people with not just her beauty but confidence and intellect.

In a very competitive beauty pageant filled with beautiful and intelligent young women, she managed to garner the most votes more than any other contestants. She even proved to be a deserving contestant during the top five questions and answers session as she gave the audience and judges a brilliant answer.

This new queen won herself a brand new Haval Jolion car that will be in the organisers' names for a year during her reign and would be hired a driver for the year. She will later be able to change the ownership after her reign.

She will not be allowed to sell the car in two years. She also won herself a degree scholarship of her choice from Limkokwing University of Creative Technology that she can pursue whenever she wants, a monthly allowance, a wardrobe worth P50,000, hair salon services worth P50,000, beauty spa services worth P30,000, medical and health insurance, housing (a house to stay at) for her reign and a management team. She will also be representing Botswana at an international pageant expected to take place on July 15 this year in Poland. Meanwhile Laura Alfred and Stephinah Sebina scooped first and second princess awards respectively. Both won themselves degree scholarships of their choice from Limkokwing University and will be accompanying the queen throughout her trips and also scored a few other prizes. Other women who made it to top five include Mosa Balesamang and Precious Haushiko. Even though the event started off late, it was short and sweet.

It started off with a video showcasing a short play where contestants were in the wilderness fighting for the crown and towards the end, the beauties got on stage wearing the same clothes just like they did on the video. They also showcased beautiful dance moves and their performance was breath taking. Furthermore, they later walked down the ramp dressed in beautifully designed dresses. Each contestant’s dress was unique and matched their personality. Still at the event, Samantha Mogwe and Khoisan treated the audience to splendid performances.

South African beauty queen and model, Lalela Mswane, who is the current Miss Supranational 2022 international pageantry queen, walked down the ramp showing the audience how she won her international crown. She advised the new queen that being a queen was not easy and advised that despite all odds, kindness was always the goal despite hardships ahead.

The event was organised by a company called Something Big, which was formed through a collaboration of different creatives who have been in the beauty pageant industry for some time. Miss Supranational is their first pageant after being awarded the license last year by Miss Supranational International body. It looked for women with ages between 18 and 30 years, who do not have a visible tattoo when wearing a one-piece swim suit, who have never given birth, who have never gotten married, with no criminal record, of minimum height of 1.7m, should be confident, good posture, good appearance and personality. They first selected top 30 who were later cut down to top 12 after the fashion and talent show. The contestants went through various workshops and boot camps.
