Thursday, December 05, 2013

Miss Tourism 2013 contestants have not received their prizes as promised, which were due in October. Speaking to Showbiz yesterday, 19-year-old Katlego Gaotsenelelwe who was crowned queen at the August 30th pageant said that she and her princesses are still yet to receive their rewards.
