The Hub, ACHAP to stage Miss All-Schools pageant

Pageant organiser Marc Themba told journalists at a press conference on Monday that they are aiming at providing a platform for the youth to address challenges and sensitise the general public on issues like HIV/AIDS and safe male circumcision through events like this one.

"The Miss All Schools Francistown pageant will be used as a communication tool to address and escalate issues that young people are faced with regarding HIV/AIDS with more emphasis on prevention measures and coping mechanisms for the affected and infected," Themba said. He stated that most beauty pageants are often about beauty but this initiative is not just a standard beauty pageant.
