Astounded by her brilliance and potential of being an international pageant queen, Diamond Pageantry Academy will be sending Miss Botswana 2nd Princess Sebaga Manyapetsa to Venezuela to represent Botswana at the Miss Ecology International Competition.
Diamond Pageantry Academy is a pageantry school that trains and grooms aspiring models. The academy currently holds the Miss Teen Botswana license and worked with Miss Botswana last year to train the finalists and to produce the coronation.
The academy’s Administrative Officer Chedza Setimela told The Voice Entertainment that they secured the Miss Ecology license but decided against hosting a local contest because they were not ready. “We decided that we are not yet ready to host the pageant locally so we opted to select a candidate to represent Botswana at the International Competition. We considered the candidates we have trained as well as some of the Miss Teen Botswana and Miss Botswana finalists.”
She says that whilst working on the Miss Botswana project, they were fascinated by Manyapetsa’s personality and charm. “Out of everyone that we were considering, as a team we felt that Sebaga was the most fit for the pageant.”
“She fits the attributes of a beauty queen: the way she carries herself, her bubbly personality and her good interpersonal skills give us the confidence that she can compete internationally,” she added.
The academy has also demonstrated confidence in their abilities to carry out the project. “We trust and believe in our team. As an academy, I feel we have proven that we are trustworthy when it comes to coordinating pageants and our work has been seen through Miss Teen Botswana.”
Manyapetsa will be leaving on the 13th March to participate in the pageant on the 14th.
Setimela informed that they intend to open up the contest to the public once Manyapetsa returns.
