Even though the competition was tough because all contestants came fully prepared, only one gentleman and lady won the crown. The duo's lucky stars were by their side as they managed to impress the judges. Tshwaane's runner ups are Neville Kgoropu who scooped the first runner up title followed by Kago Mokane with the second runner up while Abang Mosiiwa got the third runner up title. From the women's side, Ditlamelo's runner ups are Laone Mosemele with the first runner up position followed by Palesa Mawila who scooped the second runner up position while Sieria Letshoo won herself the third runner up title. The pageantry started off very late and the sound was poor.
However, the contestants managed to redeem the situation with their energetic performances during the parades. The pageantry kick-started with them wearing some shorts and white tops for the women while the gentlemen wore some trousers with crewspans. They mesmerised the audience with their eye catching dance performances. Their vintage parade was top notch and everyone came fully prepared. The skirts, colourful shirts, dresses, check pants, block heels hairstyles, hats and gorgeous handbags together with some colourful scarfs sealed it on the ladies side. The gentlemen did not want to be left behind as they also made sure they do dress up for the theme. The poses, the suitcases and one carrying the big plastic bag usually used to carry big luggage and the outfits from the gentlemen also lit up the event. The contestants later showcased different Setswana cultures through their attires and brief performances.
On the women's side, some wore traditional leather attires (matlalo) and danced, one wore the German print dress carrying firewood and showcased how women used to cook using firewood while others opted to sing and dance, recite poems while one of the contestants wore the white Bazezuru attire carrying a bowl in which she put a few items she was selling. The gentlemen also did their best as they sang, danced and recited poems. Some wore matlalo while others decided to wear the German print clothes. The swimwear parade was intriguing. The women wore white beautiful swim sets of different but gorgeous designs while the gentlemen went for some shorts and some shirts and sunglasses. The evening gown parade was breathtaking. The dresses were beautiful and the gentlemen went for suits and looked good. Moreover, The MMKF dance crew treated revellers with beautiful dance moves.
