Mr and Ms UB crowned

In an event that has shown organisers' contempt of keeping to their advertised time, this year's Mr and Miss University of Botswana (UB) were crowned early Sunday morning in a show that had started more than two hours late.

Phemelo Kebuseofe, a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing student, and Lawrence Ramaijane, a Bachelor of Arts in Humanities student, were crowned queen and king respectively at the Moghul Refectory at the university campus.
