New Miss Botswana Queen To Win Mercedes Benz C200

Miss Botswana 2019 Oweditse Phirinyane has been the longest reigning queen and she will finally hand over the crown to a new queen later this year. The new queen will represent Botswana at Miss World pageant in Puerto Rico on December 16, 2021. Organisers of the pageant, Development Advance Institute (DAI) have now opened for auditions which will be conducted online. The Miss Botswana pageant is open to young women aged between 18 and 25 and should never have given birth. Interested parties are required to pay an audition fee of P250, submit their portrait and full body pictures and shorts videos. The closing date for the submissions is August 14, 2021.

During the pageant’s media launch on Friday, Benjamin Raletsatsi from DAI said they postponed the launch many times but now decided to go ahead with the search for a new queen. “COVID-19 has delayed us but it has not denied us the opportunity to rise again and even thrive under such conditions,” he revealed. He said when they took over the pageant in 2018 they agreed that they will have a five year turnaround strategy but they never anticipated that COVID-19 pandemic will come in between. Raletsatsi also said as they begin the search for a new queen from top 30 all the way down to top 16, they will ensure the safety of contestants and members of their team.
