“It is such an honour to get to be invited to participate in this year’s choosing of Miss Universe Zimbabwe.
“It means a lot, an opportunity like this for the young girls who entered this competition is huge.
“It is up to them what they do with the platform, but it is a great opportunity to be able to explore and discover themselves, their strengths and weaknesses,” she said.
Nine finalists from around the country are vying for the coveted title, along with its accompanying rewards.
