Inaugural Miss Mahalapye billed for December

The beauty pageant is to see 14 contestants  battling it out for the ultimate crown in front of three non-nonsense judges at the luxurious Mahalapyes Cresta on December 26.

“Most youth in Mahalapye think that fun and entertainment can be achieved through alcohol and drug abuse. This pageant aims to change that,” the youthful pageant director, Gaonyafale Phuti, told Showbiz yesterday matter-of-factly.  The 23 year old University of Botswana (UB) student said  she came up with the idea last year after the festive holidays.
