Mushandu will represent Zimbabwe at the Miss World to be held in London while Morgan will take part at the Miss International Beauty pageant which will be held in Chengdu, China.
The models will each have to battle it out with over 100 models in the international pageants. The build up to the shows has been quite impressive with Mushandu being shortlisted in Beauty with a Purpose top 10, Top Model top 20 and Beach Beauty top 20. The two have promised to give the pageants their best shots.
Mushandu promised to proudly represent the nation at the finale and asked Zimbabweans to support her when she walks on the ramp tonight.“I have done my part and now it’s time for us to join hands and finish the race as a nation,” she said.Morgan promised to put maximum effort.
“I must admit that I get a bit nervous at times but I promise to do my best. I will give it my best shot and bring something home. The competition is really tough but I am hoping to outshine others at the final,” she said.She said she was dealing with the pressure by praying.
“I pray frequently and I also read my Bible before I sleep and when I wake up. I know that by God’s grace things will work in my favour,” she said.Morgan further urged all Zimbabweans to pray not only for her but for Mushandu who will also compete on the same day as her. “People should rally behind us so that we bring something back home,” she said.
Morgan successfully auctioned a painting by local artist Farai Chirumiko at the Miss International camp. It was bought for US$5 000.“The portrait showed two children playing hide and seek and this was to show the happiness that Zimbabwean children have,” said Morgan.
