Each girl did very well in my opinion. It couldn’t have been easy to stand up in front of strangers the whole night and fight to be the queen and be put through challenges to compete.
There were different categories in the competition and each competition gave a girl the opportunity to win in that field. There was a SwimWear category and Evening gown category.
At the end of the night, after hours of gruelling exercises, the winner was crowned and two princess runners up were announced.
The first princess runner up is number 22, Daberechi Njoku of Nigeria and second is number 18, Della Buakuma of Ghana.
The winner of the whole competition is number 10, Georgina Nantandwe of Zimbabwe. She was crowned Miss Pride of Africa 2024.
As the winner and queen, she becomes an ambassador for Africa, working on behalf of all African countries and various organizations. The crowned Queen’s role is to travel to Africa to take part in human capital development projects, experience the culture and heritage of Africa and she will also be involved in making donations and contributions to various charitable institutes as well as 100% involvement within the United Kingdom as an African Ambassador.
During the night, we had breaks and each break we had a performer to entertain us while we waited. The performer’s of the night were Joel Sox, Judah Rapknowledge Da Akbar, Patche Di Rima, Big Tizzy, Angel SBL, Tillah, Bigiano and Big Grenade.
Previous winners were also in attendance to pass the torch.
Overall, it was a lovely evening. I did enjoy myself and it was a lovely experience.
I give it 🔥🔥🔥🔥 for the entire show.
