Thirteen vie for Miss Gaborone title

The pageant is one of the numerous fund-raising activities being organised by Gaborone City Council (GCC) ahead of the city's 25th anniversary celebrations to be held at University of Botswana (UB) on August 11.  According to Thabang Mmolotsi, the pageant's coordinator, they selected the 13 contestants from more than 30 women from all over the city who had to answer a given question about Gaborone.

She said that they chose those who gave them good answers showing their understanding of the nation's capital city.
"When choosing our 13 contestants we were not only looking at their beauty, age and body shape but we also wanted someone who knew more about the city and its history," Mmolotsi told Showbiz.
