Architect, Larona Kgabo is this year's Miss Universe Botswana.

The 25-year-old beauty queen beat 11 hopefuls to get the coveted crown at a glittering ceremony on Saturday night. Kgabo's confidence when answering questions propelled her from the top five to the last three and eventually into a beauty queen. She ensured her place into the top three when she said that because of her inner and outer beauty and patriotism, she felt that she deserved to be this year's Miss Universe. One of the judges, former Botswana Television presenter, Kgomotso Maembulwa had asked her to explain why she felt she deserved to be crowned queen this year.

In the deciding question for all the top three contestants, Kgabo answered that her personal contribution to ensuring that the Brand Botswana mandate was achieved would be to work hand in hand with the brand team, and use the Miss Universe Botswana platform to educate people about the campaign.  She said that as an architecture graduate, she would use her skills to help the team with infrastructure development.
