Running under the theme Nurturing Capabilities, the event will start at 6pm and entry will be free.
After a series of auditions of grooming and etiquette training held in Harare from April 18 to May 20, 16 girls were selected to showcase their beauty and brains tonight, with the winner expected to win a car and catwalk to the bank for some cash.
The pageant’s programmes and communications manager, Valerie Chingonzo, said the beauty queens to be crowned, the princesses and Miss Personality will also get cash rewards, while the rest of the contestants will receive a token of appreciation for their participation.
Chingonzo said they are also giving the platform to the community to showcase their different talents.
“There is so much talent in the community but little exposure and lack of recreational facilities. The Mount Talent Trust seeks to nurture capabilities by giving residents in the community a platform to showcase their various skills and talents,” she said.
Chingonzo said the ultimate queen and other winners will assist the Member of Parliament in coming up with ways and strategies on how best to solve the problems the constituency is facing.
