Mr, Miss Kgatleng Festival beauty pageant Saturday

He added that the objective of the pageant was that in the evolving world, the new generations should not get lost in the contemporary and cosmopolitan world but to understand the roots of Bakgatla and Batswana in general. Mr and Miss Kgatleng Festival is both a ladies and gentlemen’s pageant.

Seame pointed out that they have eight ladies competing for the Miss Kgatleng Festival title, namely, Laone Mosemele, Palesa Mawila, Sieria Letshoo, Lisah Mogale, Myheart Ditlamelo, Amantle Shirley, Seeletso Ntlhaga and Keith Kopore while they have four gentlemen competing for the Mr Kgatleng Festival title, namely, Abang Mosiiwa, Kago Mokane, Neville Oaipeta Kgoropu and Tefo Tshwaane. “Our pageant does not require anything, if you are a Mokgatla aging between 18 to 28 years, you became part of Mr and Miss Kgatleng Festival. The pageantry was established in the year 2021 meaning the year 2023 will be the third year hosting it. The queen and king will walk away with cash prize of P5, 000 and some gifts from our sponsors. Both of them will represent Botswana next year at Mr and Miss United Nations in Florida, USA,” he said.
