The ladies were welcomed and officially introduced to the Mrs Botswana brand, which is not just a pageant; but a pageant with a purpose of building a better Botswana through families. The 30 finalists were welcomed into the MRS Botswana family. In an interview with the pageantry director, Kgalalelo Lesetedi she said the contestants were currently in the field impacting lives and addressing issues of Child Protection and Gender-based Violence.
“The happiness of a nation starts from families. Peace in a country starts from families, from homes and that’s what we advocate for. This year we are crowning our fifth queen and it’s going to be so big a celebration. May 15, 2021 is commemoration of international day for families and as usual, these women will demonstrate this with a walk. It is just unfortunate that the public will not be invited this year because of COVID-19 pandemic,” Lesetedi said.
