After beating 29 other beauties, Vivacious 20-year-old Vanessa Sibanda will be crowned Miss Tourism Zimbabwe 2008 at a star-studded event held at the Harare International Conference Center on Tuesday.
The judges were unanimous that the Speciss College student has what it takes to be Zimbabwe’s tourism ambassador, according to The Herald on Thursday.
The teary beauty said she had been waiting for the day and was happy that she had won.
“It’s amazing because I’ve been waiting for this day and I’m so excited that I’ve done it,” she said.
Vanessa said she hoped to use her influence to market Zimbabwe as a first tourist destination in Africa.
A holder of class 4 drivers’ license, Vanessa is set to receive a Mercedes Benz C200 for use during her reign as one of the packages for clinching the title.
She takes over from Britain-based Cynthia Muvirimi as the queen and will represent Zimbabwe at the Miss World 2009 contest.
Sharon Razzle, another stunner, was picked as the first princess while Happiness Tshuma was the second princess. Cleopatra Ncube was crowned Miss Personality.
These are just fat cats’ girls. What have they done about tourism since this miss tourism inauguration?
Congratulations my little sis.but hey you have an uphill task to convince the world that our mother country is an attractive and safe tourist destination.tourists will still feel they are being monitored 24/7 by the CIO.wish you the best baby sister.
could anyone kindly confirm the interest of the military in this whole event?? i mean from the minister himself, the wife (VIP or Guest of Honour) then i think it was Gen/LT or Brig SIBANDA. Was it coincidence or there is something to it just like ZTV Top 100 videos being won by Silumani or is it Sulimani?????
