The Face of Zimbabwe Trust has joined hands with GTEL, a supplier of mobile phones and accessories to host the event expected to draw participants from all over the world.
The competition seeks to promote Zimbabwe globally while mobilizing funds for the FOZ Charity drive ‘My Brother’s Keeper’. This funds 24 orphans in Epworth and plans long-term funding for underprivileged children in Zimbabwe.
The pageant is based on public voting which is moderated by judges who select a winner every month. Judges include ‘One ariega’ acoustic/afro jazz/urban musician, Cee Jay Besa based in Texas, Priscilla ‘Miss Airwaves’ Nalana, an Ireland-based radio presenter who had distinguished career as a broadcaster with South African Radio station ‘Bop’, SA-based businesswoman and events co-ordinator Spiwe Sibiya, UK- based model Caroline Kumbukami who was crowned Miss Valentine 2010, and SA-based model and ‘I will Mary Myself’ actor, Melgin Tafirenyika.
The top prize is $3,000 and the event will witness performances from Amara Brown, Nox, Sulu Chimbetu, Stunner and ExQ, among others.
