Send rep to Miss Universe consistently - Ramasedi

Botswana's representative in Miss Universe finals held in Las Vegas last month, Tirelo Ramasedi, believes the high profile pageant is a good platform to package the country to the world.

As a result, she has urged local organisers to consistently send a representative to the global pageant.  Ramasedi was only the fourth Botswana contestant in the Miss Universe finals, since Mpule Kwelagobe made history when she won the title in Trinidad and Tobago 11 years ago.  The only other contestants from Botswana have been Joyce Molemoeng in 2000, Mataila Sikwane in 2001, and Icho Keolotswe in 2004.

After that, Botswana did not send a representative until this year when local company, Mos Syde World Entertainment Group decided to breathe new life into the local edition of the pageant and send the winner to the global finals.
