Baratang makes Botswana proud

Baratang, who just returned to the country a few days ago, said she was prepared for the international pageant. She explained that before flying to Florida, she had been going for modelling and public speaking classes with her mentor, One Mariri of Beauty Hub Academy.

She added that she went to Florida with her mother and the journey there was extremely long and tiring because it was her first ever time taking that long trip. "We arrived in Florida late at night and we received a warm welcome by the Director of the Miss Pure International Pageant. The incredible girl that I went to represent Botswana with who was in the teen category Lindelwa Ndlovu and I were the only two Africans in the entire pageant. We were the first two representatives to represent not just Botswana but Africa," she said.
