Miss Independence 2017 grand finale around the corner

The pageant’s director, Gaonyafelwe Phuti yesterday, she told Showbiz that the beauty contest aims to preserve and appreciate Setswana culture. She said as culture changes everyday, they have decided to appreciate the new changes.

“However, appreciating new cultures does not mean that we have to abandon our native culture. Culture defines who we are as human beings and therefore it is very imperative to conserve it for our future generations,” she said.
