On Saturday, Miss World Africa, Lesego Chombo crowned the new Miss Botswana, 22-year-old Anicia Gaothuse, at a glamorous Miss Botswana 2024 grand finale black tie event hosted at the Royal Aria in Tlokweng.

Gaothuse’s lithe frame and pretty face earned her the 55th Miss Botswana title.

Her second and first princesses are Sebaga Manyepetsa and Halle Hirschfeld respectively. Gaothuse, who also previously held the title of Miss teen Botswana 2019, is a tertiary student at the Gaborone College of law studying logistics and supply. A passion for health, God, crunching numbers and relatability are some admirable qualities that the new queen has, ultimately putting her home village, Tutume, on the map with bragging rights for birthing the fairest of them all in 2024.
