Duo plan fabulous Miss Independence pageant

Tuesday, August 26, 2008

In an effort to encourage local youth to appreciate and be proud of Botswana culture, two youths have joined forces to organise a 'Miss Independence' beauty pageant next month.

The duo of 23-year-old Koketso Moremi and Lindi Ndaba said that the pageant, which will take place at a spot near the Three Dikgosi Monument in the new Gaborone central business district (CBD) will be held under the theme: A re buseng ngwao ('let's bring back culture'). Botswana celebrates her 42nd independence anniversary on September 30 this year.

The duo have planned it in such a way that everything will be traditional and reflect the cultural values of Batswana and their lives. At the spot, a big marquee will be pitched with the interior decorated with traditional items.
