Prominent Botswana model, Palestine Molefe says she is in camp preparing for the much anticipated Miss World competition..
In a video widely circulating on social media, Molefe thanked the Botswana government for the support that it has been giving her as he prepares to compete with the world’s best models.
The event is scheduled for 16 March 2022.
Miss World Toni-Ann Singh’s reign as the longest title-holder in history was extended following the delay of the annual beauty pageant for the second year.
Singh, who is Miss Jamaica World 2019, was crowned Miss World in 2019 but held on to her title after the event was cancelled in 2020 owing to the coronavirus pandemic.
Last year, the organizers announced that the 2021 pageant will also be moved to March, after several Covid-19 infections were detected during the preliminary rounds at the pageant in Puerto Rico.
Contestants from 98 countries had been camped at the US territory for four weeks, taking part in interviews and competitions ahead of the December 16 finals.
But a day before coronation night, Puerto Rican health authorities confirmed 17 people involved with the pageant had tested positive for Covid-19.
