After making a grand entrance in the local pageantry industry, Miss Supranational continues to struggle to attract any financial sponsorship. As such, the event organisers have said failure to get sponsorship is making it hard for them to reach their goals.

For individuals hosting classy events matching international standards, they need everything from settings, lights, sounds and even hiring musicians. The Miss Supranational organisers also explained that they pay all the bills from their own pockets.

In an interview with Arts&Culture, the pageantry’s spokesperson, Kaone Moremong, said Miss Supranational Botswana has no financial sponsor therefore everything is at the cost of the organisation. “We continue to look for sponsors and hopefully they will come on board. We have not had any monetary sponsor since the inception of Miss Supranational Botswana last year. This is despite intense efforts we put in. But we are not giving up yet. We are seeking monetary support and remain hopeful that we will eventually secure one. The winner will represent the country at the third largest beauty pageant in the world in June.
