BLAH! BLAH! OLD MCDONALD HAD A GOAT, E;I;O;
…I once said it that the organisers of beauty pageants in Swaziland are all about filling their little known CVs with a not so needed publicity
In response to the Honourable Ngwempisi Member of Parliament Veli who came to the rescue of the ‘now –not –so –important ‘ Miss Swaziland pageant and sponsored it with a goat , I feel this matter just needs to be slaughtered with the goat because if this was gift to the First Princess ( I understand) and if it was meant to be the prize for the pageant then I would like to know the person who decided to list it as a prize and I would personally drive him/her to the nearest dipping tank show him /her where livestock cleanse themselves from unhealthy disorder.
I just wish the princess would have been my relative or have been close to yours truly and I would have read the riot act over this insult. I don’t think even the organisers know that a beauty pageant or contest is a competition that would focus mainly on the physical beauty of its contests and such then is incorporated with personality , talent and answers questions whose scores would be marked by an equally competent panel of judges.
With the current state of Miss Swaziland prizes yours truly being a blogger, writer, Swazi by birth has an obligation to point my 9mm pen to the pageant organisers with just one bullet and explain to them that winners of Miss Swaziland Pageant are called ‘beauty queens’ and thus the ordinary prize of a beauty queen would be tiara, sash , a savings bond or a cash prize would have been an honour for the First Princess Nosipho Mkhwanazi.
Trust I wouldn’t have responded to this but I was shocked to hear that Miss Swaziland was presented with a car (don’t worry about the model) then do we expect the First to also ‘ride’ on the goat when doing her charity projects. Maybe if we would have given her E500 worth of unit Trust from Stanlib or Africa Alliance then it was going to be understood.
For the last time may the organisers of any beauty pageant please do justice to themselves and please stop humiliating the girls. We have seen in the past some of the girls being dethroned after successfully beaten the whole chuff, others have suffered humiliation after the lack of mentoring.
I just wonder now that we have the beauty queen if they do have a monitoring mechanism and mentoring for queens and be protected from these vultures who are always hell bend to entice the country’s models and shame them with expensive gifts then dump them like used condoms once they reach their sell-by-date.
In a nutshell let me encourage the Miss Swaziland at least beef up its marketing department and convince sponsors to sponsor the pageant. There is no sponsor who would want to be associated with a disorganised event in the first place. By having the honourable MP sponsoring with a goat it shows that a lot of people out there are willing to be associated with the country’s beauty.
