Molefe Crowned Miss Botswana

Molefe beat 15 other beautiful contestants on the night to win the coveted crown, which includes among others the top prize of a Mercedes Benz C200 courtesy of new car dealer, Magariland. It was a tough decision for the judges who included among others Miss World 2010 first princess Emma Wareus. However, in the end, the name Molefe stood out after excelling through rounds of swimsuit and evening gown struts, questions on social issues and one final chance to explain why she should be the next Miss Botswana. “I would love to be the next Miss Botswana because I want to be part of a team in Botswana that wants to make a change.

I understand that being Miss Botswana is having a crown but I am part of a bigger organisation. I want to be that person or lady who gets honoured enough to get the crown and be supported by every one of you,” answered Molefe. She became the first woman in the history of the pageant to win with a bald head, an acknowledgement of black beauty on the international stage. Two runners-up Michelle Bagoleng and Marang Makhoana won the first and second princess titles respectively.
