After bidding to host the Mister Africa International pageant in 2014 against Ghana, Botswana’s First Models Management (FMM) Company won the bid.

FMM, in partnership with House of Twich which is London-based, will host the first ever Mister Africa International on December 3 at Fairground Holdings from 7pm until late.

“Pageants enthusiasts can look forward to a night of glitz and glam as we are bringing only the best,” said FMM events manager, Kefilwe Mukokoni. She further explained that Wellio is the best representative for Botswana.
