Segolame � epitome of Botswana culture

At least now she knows pluming in her culture can actually earn her a prize in an international competition after she won the Best Style accolade recently.  This was in the Top Model of The World pageant held in Cairo.  Apart from the Best Style recognition, she finished third out of 42 models.

“I needed to embody something unique when I went to Egypt, something that would cause people to easily pick me out of the crowd.  So I plaited singles, which I felt were more African,” she says.  And her complete African attire – a dress with a seditsi dangling on the side – fascinated the organisers and fellow contestants.
