Juanitah Ballout outshone 17 other contestants after winning the Little Miss Universe Botswana 2015 title at GICC on Sunday.

Ballout’s luck started after she was crowned Little Miss Photogenic, a special award, which gave members of the public an opportunity to vote through social media.  The award meant that she automatically made it to the top 10.
