Gaothusi's new crown not influenced by public criticism - Miss Botswana :: Mmegi Online

Miss Botswana organisers have shot down allegations that the unveiling of the ‘Crown of Unity’ yesterday was influenced by the public criticism over the initial crown which was awarded to the new queen, Anicia Gaothusi on March 23.

Soon after the crowning of the new queen, people took to social media, particularly Facebook to express their displeasure arguing that the crown does not meet the standards of Miss Botswana who gets to represent the country at Miss World.

Some even said that the crown does not even speak to the country that prides itself in diamonds.However, Miss Botswana spokesperson, Ambrociah Samboko remained steadfast that the new crown was not influenced by the scrutiny they received from the public. “The Crown of Unity is inspired by our reigning queen, Anicia Gaothusi who aims to be a queen that brings people together through her beauty with purpose project, Lights, which is based on primary health care and teaching Batswana about the basis of health care,” Samboko stated.
