BOMU to stage beauty pageant

BOMU spokesman, Pagson Ntsie said that they have realised that women are still lagging behind when it comes to the local music industry.  The BOMU official said Miss BOMU beauty pageant, which is likely to be held in April or May next year, would be organised by the women's committee.

The beauty pageant will incorporate a fashion parade.  Ntsie said that Afro jazz songbird Nono Siile would coordinate the project.  He said a milling company, Bolux, which will be launching a new product, has shown interest in working with them on this project, and would probably sponsor the pageant. Ntsie said that Miss BOMU beauty queen would be looking at the challenges that women in the music industry face.  In his view, women have not been all that successful when it comes to local music as compared to their male counterparts.
