Miss Southern Africa UK, Saturday 5^th June 2010

Dornay Swartz, Madonna Gold, Mbatjiua Mbetjiha is proudly Namibian in the international Miss Southern Africa UK 2010 pageant.

Already in its 6^th year this pageant was started to capture the beauties of Southern African’s living abroad. The main purpose of this event is to create International awareness, not only about the exquisite looking women Southern Africa have, but also to celebrate the Southern African people, culture, traditions and colourful & vibrant fashion styles, and it’s expressive and emotive music.

This event has grown into an International brand, with contestants from all over Southern Africa taking part. One of the aspirations of Miss Southern Africa is to bring people from all walks of life together and celebrate the beauty and shared culture of Southern Africa.

The UK leg of Miss Southern Africa International will take place on Saturday, 5^th June 2010 at Stratford Old Town Hall, London, E15 4BQ.

Not only are we calling for all aspiring models to use this platform to launch themselves internationally, we also want to attract a wide and diverse audience from Southern African countries to support this initiative.

Tickets can be purchased via a secure online website: www.miss-southernafrica.com and we welcome companies that wish to be involved with this prestigious event.

Southern Africa is a land of rich cultural diversity. The Miss Southern Africa UK event will place the focus on tourism and the natural beauty that Africa posses.

From the serene beaches of South Africa, to the vast landscapes of the Majestic Kingdom of Swaziland, across the savannah planes to the meeting of ocean and desert in Namibia and onwards to the rich culture and Kalahari desert in Botswana and the pinnacle meeting point of the big 5 at the infamous Victoria falls. This package includes Lake Malawi, and the ultimate African paradise which is Mauritius to the unexplored beaches of Mozambique.

We intend to focus on all of these unique aspects which make Southern Africa the untouched and undeniably beautiful hotspot for tourism.

Miss Southern Africa 2010 will also be an ambassador for our charity partner, Southern Africa Action for Change (S.A.A.C) www.sa-ac.org.uk and will be required to lobby governments for women and children welfare and raise the profile of this charity and its essential cause.
