AFTER successfully hosting Copperbelt rapper Macky II’s third studio album launch, the spotlight is still on Lusaka’s Polo Grill situated in the Showgrounds as it hosts two beauty pageants at once – Miss Red Carpet Moments and Miss Pageant Zambia.
The Miss Red Carpet Moments will be the first to start with 12 girls gunning for the ultimate crown.
Miss Pageant will then follow slightly after 22:00 hours where 15 girls will battle it out for the crown currently being held by 21-year-old Hannah Chiwenda.
Chief organiser of the event Lee Sokoni told the Weekend Mail in Lusaka that he is hopeful the pageant will be a success.
“It will be a double header… two pageants on the same night and same venue, it will indeed be great. Initially, there were supposed to be two separate pageants but in the end, we just decided to merge them. The winners will win fantastic prizes,” Sokoni said.
The themes for the two pageants are ‘Dragging down the abuse of drugs among Zambian Youths” and “Stepping up Cervical Cancer Sensitisation and Screening” for the Miss Red Carpet and Miss Pageant Zambia respectively.
The 15 participants for the latter are Cynthia Mwale, Kamwanga Tshilimba, Kunda Mwale, Chimika Mwanza, Sibongile Sepo, Yvette Maseka, Mulenga Kasungu, Natasha Mbewe, Aida Chilembo and Etambuyu Liyungu.
Others are Rachael Musukuma, Bless Kalomba, Astridah Muyunda, Noria Lungu as well as Nicole Hanapande.
Artistes Chef 187 and B Flow are expected to lead musicians in entertaining those who will turn up for the pageant.
