Zimbabwean model, Aisha De Beer, who is currently based in Johannesburg, South Africa, recently won the Miss March contest in the ongoing Face of Zimbabwe (Foz) online competition.
The Bulawayo-born model, who has previously appeared on billboards in Zimbabwe and the cover of Edgar’s Club Magazine is currently making her mark on the SA modelling circuit where she has featured in print and television adverts.
De Beer won both the highest public vote and the nod from three of the five Foz judges to claim the Miss March title.
“The stunning beauty has strong, standout looks and could succeed as a top model anywhere in the world,” said UK-based Model and Foz judge Caroline Mutasa.
Another judge, acclaimed radio presenter Priscilla Nalana, said besides De Beer’s obvious beauty and her passion for Zimbabwe was refreshing.
Nalana said De Beer looked very comfortable discussing the beauty of Zimbabwe and had just raised the bar in the competition.
The model is proud of her achievement. “This to me is not just a title, it’s an opportunity to shine and represent my country as I have always wanted to,” said De Beer.
She said she would not disappoint those who had put their trust in her and wanted people all over the world to realise Zimbabwe was a beautiful country with so much potential.
