She said modelling had given her a wider platform and representing Masvingo at the Miss Tourism Zimbabwe finals to be held in September in Bulawayo was a huge step for her.
“Being the first princess means a lot to me since it allows me to explore what l always wanted to achieve,” she said.
“I chose to be part of the modelling industry because of passion and it gives me a sense of achievement and fulfilment. Modelling gives me a platform of widening my social horizon and understanding of people.
“I think my modelling career started when l was in my mother’s womb since it is something deep inside of me.
“During my early childhood, especially at pre-school, I was already modelling and won a number of pageants.”
Mukuu said she never gave up pursuing her passion resulting in her winning a number of beauty accolades.
“My passion grew stronger when l reached high school and l was crowned Miss Nagle House Girls High [Marondera] in 2012 and l carried on with my journey when l went for tertiary education,” she said.
The gorgeous model has won several titles, including the Miss GZU First Princess in 2015, Miss Independence Masvingo Queen 2016, Miss Dzimbahwe, Miss ZimGold Mashonaland Central and First Princess in 2014.
