Miss Botswana top 16 chosen

The fashion show, which attracted quite a large audience, was under the theme 'Fashion Meets Light' and was held at Gaborone International Convention Centre (GICC). The contestants paraded different garments that were designed by local designers who were also competing for the best designer award, which in the end was clinched by Lesedi Matlapeng.

Other designers included Aobakwe Molosiwa of Glided Sands who seems to be popular with the youth and Botho Chalebgwa of Bothocy, and Lebang Kgosana who is famous for her leather made bags, hats and belts. Pinkie Jewellers supplied jewellery for the night. Even though some ladies did not make it to the top 16, credit has to be given to all of the contestants as they all proved that walking in high heals is work on its own as many of them kept tripping but the confidence in them kept them going on as the audience gave them standing ovations and cheered them on.
