Miss Botswana recently revealed that she had a wardrobe malfunction but is greatful for the love and sisterhood she experienced during this frustrating period. In a social media post she wrote;
“It is such an honor to have proudly represented my country last night. I am proud of myself and I’m proud of us, Botswana. I might have been the one on the stage but we all poured out our hearts and put ourselves out there. That on its own is the bravest thing we’ve ever done. I hope we can continue with this attitude and brilliance in finding strength in our vulnerability.
To my Miss World sisters, it really takes a village. Yesterday the stakes were high and you all did exceptionally well, I am proud of every single one of you. And @karolinabielawska you make an absolutely Beautiful Miss World and I wish you all The success in your reign. @olivia.yace and @manasa5varanasi, my sisters, thank you for being there for me last night. I had a wardrobe malfunction with my dresses you didn’t hesitate to give me yours. It’s what we do, we are there for each other and hold each other up even in the middle of The Miss World Grand Finale. I might have not been able to wear either of my dresses but I was supported by my sisters backstage last night. A bond not taken lightly. Wishing all of my Miss World Sisters love, light and success. Till our paths cross again.”
President Masisi also took time to honour Palesa for representing Botswana by saying “Welcome back home Palesa. On behalf of myself and the people of Botswana, I would like to thank you for representing us at the Miss World competition. With pride, you raised the Blue, Black, and White flag very high and represented us extremely well. Your participation in the Miss World competition brought us together as a nation and for that, we shall forever be grateful to you.
Throughout this journey, you epitomised Botho jwa Setswana and humanity as a whole. Rea leboga ngwanaka. Take your loss as a learning curve and a springboard to other opportunities. Continue doing your work as Miss Botswana and focus on achieving your goals. Get inspiration from the likes of Kaone Kario and use the platform that the Miss World Pageant set for you to knock on doors of opportunity.
You have what it takes my daughter. You are a star, go out there and shine. The future belongs to you. #Advancing Together #PalesaToTheWorld #PushaBW #ProudlyBW
