“In Jesus’ Name I am Miss World 2016”, Thata Kenosi.

To say Batswana never accepted her as their queen is an understatement, but the reigning Miss Botswana is adamant that come rain or shine, she is bringing the Miss World crown home. “I am proclaiming this into existence and in Jesus’ name I am Miss World 2016,” she stated on her Facebook page.

“I look forward to representing a great advert of beauty during a time of celebration; our golden jubilee year. I am humbled that I was favored by a living God. It is truly an honor and privilege to be an ambassador and advocate to and for the people of Botswana,” she said. She has a lot to improve on though if she wants to achieve her dream, the way she answered her questions left a lot to be desired.

The nation of Botswana will have Thata Kenosi representing them at Miss World 2016 in Washington this December. Thata took 1st place at the 50th edition of Miss Botswana, which took place on July 29, 2016. A contender since 1964, Botswana have never won Miss World, but Emma Wareus placed 1st runner up in 2010, Botswana’s best achievement in Miss World
