Contestants kept the audience captivated with their blissful performances. The judges selected 12 beauties to compete for the crown.
The fashion show kickstarted with contestants showcasing different traditional attires representing different tribes across the country. All their costumes were immaculately designed, and suited their bodies. Some of the contestants showcased Herero attires, while others opted to go for simple German print skirts, accessorised with a shawl to give a true Motswana woman look. Other contestants wore German print attires with more of a modern twist, which made them look even more elegant.
The parade was followed by a talent show where the young women showcased their skills in poetry, various traditional dances and songs, and public speaking.
The young women also showcased different domestic roles played by a Motswana woman such as go setla, go hehera, sewing, cooking outdoors using firewood and others. They also showcased different traditional cuisine such as sorghum, watermelons, maize, beans, sweet reeds and others.
Flash Boy and Ten Days kept the audience captivated with their energetic and lively performances.
