Her namesake, 18-year old Margaret Nasha, also from Otse, proved to have what it takes to win the Miss Teen Botswana crown. The young Nasha's victory was influenced by her brilliance, passion and confidence. She indeed had a good fight towards winning the crown among other equally beautiful and talented competitors. Her project, 'Kagiso Lapeng' aiming to combat gender-based violence (GBV) has come at the right time where GBV has become a great concern in the country with high cases of intimate partners brutally killing each other.
Meanwhile, Anke Nkwe scooped the first runner up title, Vanessa Stegling was named the second runner up while Unami Phuthego became the third runner up. Isago Koontse, who won the hearts of many with her selfless and compassionate project where she even built a user friendly bathroom for a young person in Molapowabojang, walked away with the fourth runner up position. The 14-year-old did not only display her compassion but also brilliance. She won the crown impact award. When asked about how she felt about winning the award, she said she was very excited and proud of herself for reaching such a great milestone. However, she pointed out that it was not easy but with the help of the people of Molapowabojang, she conquered and financially made it. The evidently overwhelmed Koontse tearfully shared her journey with the help of the residents and leadership of her village.
Moreover, Tsholesang Elias was crowned the fifth runner up. The young women had proven themselves through their projects and during the talent showcase. The pageantry was splendid and everything went accordingly. The organisers did respect time and despite having a number of contestants who were more than 20, they managed to work on time.
