On Saturday, the Sir Seretse International Airport (SKIA) was painted blue, black and white coupled with beautiful slender women who went to support Miss World Botswana, Lesego Chombo, as she was leaving the country to compete at the 71st Miss World pageant.

The world competition starts today in India with the finale expected to be hosted on March 9 where the new world queen will be crowned.
