I have always been a runway model. I tried to enter into a beauty pageant in 2017 as I participated at the Miss Zimbabwe World, but did not make it. I haven’t taken part in any pageant after that, but I would like to announce that I am back on stage.
I am happy to win this title and perseverance pays, now I am representing the country and hope to bring the crown home. I took part in fashion shows in Milan (Italy) and South Africa in 2017
The new Zimbabwe Miss Tourism will next month represent Zimbabwe at the tourism international pageant in China. Miss Tourism was last year cancelled after models were involved in an accident.
