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.

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.
