Some people at the Miss UZ pageant finals voiced their anger
after it emerged that the winner, Panashe Peters (21) is the reigning Miss
Tourism Harare.
Many felt that she had an unfair advantage. But Miss
Tourism Zimbabwe board chairperson Sibusisiwe Dube-Muleya said models are free
to enter any pageants considering that they meet the requirements and
standards.
“Modelling is an art
and career. It is allowed in the industry to enter as many pageants as you can
as long you meet the requirements and standards of the pageants. Again the
model also has a right to check with the organizers if they can allow her.
For Peters, I see no bars that can limit her, she is Miss
Tourism Harare not Miss Tourism Zimbabwe. If she was a national queen, then it
was a different case.”
Peters who was also voted Miss Personality 2019 said :”Yes!
It happened.. After a long fight, sometimes pain and frustration, the hard work
paid off.
Thank you Family. You
voted. You supported. You defended my honour. For that I am forever grateful.
This one is for all of us, especially you sisters. Stand
firm. Focus. You will achieve it."
