Mouti's sweat and hardwork finally paid off when she was crowned this year's queen. She did not just win the title but also took home the Best GBV award and Child Protection Project. Furthermore, she won the Best Couple Talent award that she shared with her husband.

During the My Botswana My Pride parade, she wore a white flower like dress which she said showcased the Okavango Delta.

It was blended with a few modern ornaments making it even more stunning.
