The world will finally get to witness the live crowning of the 70th Miss World queen next week Thursday the 16th of December. Botswana like most countries is eyeing the Blue Crown.
And all hope lies with the extraordinary and sparkling Miss World-Botswana, Palesa Molefe.
Molefe is among the 98 queens from across the world that are in San Juan, Puerto Rico elegantly fighting tooth and nail to secure a spot at the semi-finals, and ideally bring home the crown that has eluded Botswana for years.
Molefe has bountiful energy and a calmness around her that is literally mind-blowing. Not only has she captured the hearts of Batswana but the world at large is really taking notice of what she is doing, and some are rooting for her.
This is possibly the first time that a Miss World Botswana queen is receiving this amount of love not only from home but outside as well. Batswana are literally camping on Social Media, and Mob Star, and voting through liking her content.
Speaking in an interview with The Midweek Sun this Tuesday, Molefe said it is getting more intense as the day of the crowning draws nearer, but assured that, that is far from doing anything to dent her spirit, or even put out her eternal flame.
Instead it is pushing her even more. She explained that from a young age, she has as always had a bubbly personality. Those who she grew up with can attest to that, she said.
She said that even as it gets hectic and intense, she still takes time to meditate and pray, which she notes is doing wonders for her.
