Miss Botswana controversy deepens

Molefe PIC: MISS BOTSWANA

The controversy surrounding Miss Botswana has deepened after the reigning queen, Palesa Molefe’s low-key return home following her unsuccessful attempt at the Miss World pageant.

Molefe arrived in the country on Tuesday, albeit on a rather low-key homecoming with just Miss Botswana team and her family at the airport to welcome her. She was initially scheduled to arrive in the country back on Sunday, but allegedly missed her flight. Unlike her return last year during her first stint at the competition when she was welcomed by songs and dance, Tuesday’s arrival seemingly deepened the controversy regarding her bid at the Miss World competition. Prior to her run, there was much enthusiasm about Molefe’s competition at the pageant with high expectations here at home that she stood a good chance of bringing the crown.

However, after she failed to make top 12 cut, there was disappointment when Molefe revealed that she had wardrobe malfunction. The issue remains a mystery as it is yet to be explained either by the Miss Botswana organisers or the queen herself.
