Mmegi Mobile :: Miss VIP Deaf pageant queens receive prizes
The organisers of the Miss VIP Deaf beauty pageant held a prize-giving ceremony on Thursday evening at Maharaja conference centre.
The beauty pageant was held last month.
It was the vivacious Neo Mmipi who walked away with the title and on Thursday the contestants were given their prizes.
The Miss VIP Deaf pageant was unique in that it was exclusively for girls with hearing impairment. The organisers felt that the ordinary beauty pageants ignored girls with hearing impairment.
During the Thursday ceremony, there was a prize for everyone who participated in the contest.
Queen Mmipi was given a computer and a printer, a home theatre system, a set of towels and a P200 voucher from Loads of Living. Mmipi will also be entitled to free lunch for five days with her partner at the Be Still hospitality facility at the Botswana Power Corporation (BPC).
She will also be entitled to a three-month physical training stint at the Moratwana Fitness Studio. Mmipi will also get manicure and pedicure treatment at the Rose Mystic Hair Salon. There is also a set of jewelry for the queen.
First princess Kefhilwe Tshireletso got a printer, a microwave, a set of towels and a P150 voucher from Loads of Living as well as jewellery and a hand bag.
Tshireletso will also be treated to free lunches at Be Still Hospitality with her partner for three days. She will get her manicure done at Rose Mystic Hair Salon.
Second princess Albertina Kanguatenge received a microwave oven, a side table, a set of towels plus a P100 voucher from Loads of Living.
In addition, she got jewellery and a hand bag from Angelo Fashion Accessories. Like others, she will also be treated for free lunch with her partner for two days at Be Still Hospitality.
The other contestants were each given a mug, a P50 voucher from Loads of Living and jewellery from Angelo Fashion Accessories. Each one of the contestants would be treated to one day free luncheon at Be Still Hospitality as one of the consolation prizes.
The prize-giving ceremony was sponsored by Bothakga Burrow, which also sponsored part of the prizes.
Other sponsors for the prizes were Incredible Connections. The sponsors of the pageant were also awarded with certificates of appreciation.
The six impaired boys, who walked the girls to aisle during the pageant, were each given a month's membership at the Moratwane fitness studio.
Speaking in an interview, one of the organisers of the event, Lizzy Maila of Davila Investments, said they would like to thank everyone who made the pageant a success including the judges and the artists.
Maila said they are going to make the pageant an annual event. She said next year they would be holding auditions nationwide. She added that they collaborated with the Botswana Association for the Deaf on this year's event.
Maila said Miss VIP Deaf is going to work as an ambassador for the hearing impaired. She said they are going to organise projects for her that would help improve the lives of the deaf and hearing impaired people in the country.
