IT’S glitz, glam and girl power this Saturday as 14 stunning finalists strut their stuff for the Miss Teen of the Universe Zimbabwe (MTOUZ) crown at the Holiday Inn in Harare.
Under the theme “Empowering the Girl Child by Promoting Culture and Heritage towards Vision 2030,” the stage is set for a fierce fashion fiesta as teenage beauties compete for the crown, glory and a shot at the global stage.
From Mongile Moyo to Princess Masters, the competition reads like a who’s who of Zimbabwe’s next-generation queens.
National director Mthokozisi Masuku says everything is in place. “The girls are ready, the judges are prepped, and the crown is sparkling. We can’t wait to meet our new queen!”
The panel of judges brings brains and beauty, featuring former Miss Universe Zimbabwe Langelihle Sibanda, STEM guru Sicelo “The STEMLady” Dube, and a power squad of entrepreneurs, pageant pros, and philanthropists.
This year’s sparkle comes with a local twist — the crown, Maribwe, was custom-crafted by the Women in Gemstones Association of Zimbabwe (WIGAZ), adding heritage bling to the beauty.
Open to girls aged 15 to 20, MTOUZ is a platform pushing purpose, culture and confidence for Zimbabwe’s future female leaders.
Watch this ramp… a queen is about to rise!
