Zimbabweans from across the globe are following the proceedings of the pageant on different social media platforms, anticipating that the 23-year-old beauty queen will fly the nation’s flag high as she battles for the coveted crown with 120 other beauties from across the world.
No doubt knowing she carries the nation’s hopes in a pageant of such a magnitude certainly piles pressure on Mhosva to perform better at an international pageant that has never been kind to her fellow countrywomen.
As the day draws closer, The Standard Style took a glimpse into some of Mhosva’s pictures on social media ahead of Saturday’s grand finale.
In an interview with our sister paper NewsDay before her departure, Mhosva said she was optimistic of doing well at the esteemed pageant.
“I am more than ready and raring to go. I do understand that Zimbabwe expects the best from me and I pray that I will make the nation proud, as I was well-groomed and have the skills that I require to be the best,” she said.
“I don’t want to promise the world much, but I promise that I am going to give it my best. I thank everyone for the support.” Miss Zimbabwe Trust chairperson, Marry Chiwenga weighed in, expressing confidence in the model, saying she had left no stone unturned during her preparations.
