Lebogang Keakopa, a young talented Motswana woman’s perseverance and passion to win an international beauty pageant have paid off.

Even though she did not win the Miss Pan Africa title due to some impediments she faced along the way, the young woman did not give up and gave her all in the competition and finally came home victorious. Having won Miss Pan African Queen Culture and Tourism was enough to put a smile on her face.

“Miss Pan African Queen is a continental pageant aimed at empowering young African women. It all started with online auditions, and from there I was selected to represent Botswana.

When I reached Nigeria, I had to reapply for another visa and wait for it before I could join other ladies in the pageant,” she said.
