“We are going to get models from the Venda culture in Beitbridge and South Africa and will crown the winner Miss Venda who will be an ambassador of their culture. To help market their idea they are looking for provincial contestants.
“We are also looking for provincial contestants who will be crowned The Parade Queens in their respective provinces.
“We are giving out licences to those that are willing to host the pageant in their provinces.”
