Miss Tourism Zimbabwe spokesperson, Spencer Manyemba yesterday confirmed that apart from the modelling extravaganza, Winky D and Jah Prayzah will entertain guests at the pageant final, whose preparations are now at an advanced stage.

While traditional pageants are biased towards taller and slimmer women, Manyemba said “contestants do not necessarily have to be tall and slim”.
“Although beauty and appearance are key factors for the pageant, contestants, however, do not necessarily have to be tall and slim, as we seek to find a true ambassador for Zimbabwe and to promote projects for the girl child,” he said.
He said tickets for the grand finale are selling at $10 ordinary and $30 VIP, while for students they have reduced them to $8 for the ordinary ticket.
