The ninth annual Miss Millennium beauty pageant is set for February 24, 2017. The theme for the pageantry, ‘Education’, has been inspired by poor examination results that local schools have been posting in recent years.

During an interview with the pageant director Zenzel Hirschfeld yesterday, said the beauty pageant was a women empowerment programme that was established in 2008 by Millennium Jazz patrons.

“Even though it was established for fun, we later decided to make it a pageant with purpose. Its primary objective is to support the vision that Botswana has as a country of being a compassionate, just and caring nation towards and beyond 2016. It is an annual event that targets women of 40 years and above,” she said.
