ZIMBABWE’S beauty queens are smiling all the way to the bank after the Miss Universe Zimbabwe board handed over brand new vehicles, and US$2,000 in cash, to them. The cars and cash were handed to each of the country’s international titleholders in what is being hailed as a historic moment for the local modelling industry. The glamorous but private handover ceremony marked a first in Zimbabwean pageantry.
Miss Supranational Zimbabwe Nicole Nyawera, who is still in Poland following her impressive Top 24 finish at the Miss Supranational pageant, received her vehicle in absentia and will officially collect it upon her return home. Roseanna and Brunnette walked away with Iphone 17 Pro Max phones and a Mercedes Benz while the rest of the queens received Honda Fit. For years, local titleholders have often struggled to prepare for global competitions due to limited resources, leaving many to rely on sponsors, fundraising campaigns and well-wishers.
This time, however, the Miss Universe Zimbabwe board has sent a powerful message that every queen matters. Speaking during the private handover ceremony, Miss Universe Zimbabwe board chairperson, Danya Kabwebwe, congratulated the queens and reminded them that wearing Zimbabwe’s colours comes with great responsibility. “On behalf of the Miss Universe Zimbabwe board, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to each of our queens.

“Earning the honour to represent Zimbabwe on the international stage is a remarkable achievement, but it also comes with great responsibility. “You are now ambassadors of our nation, our culture and our people. “As you begin your preparations, embrace every lesson, every challenge and every opportunity to grow.
“Walk with confidence, humility and purpose, knowing an entire nation stands behind you. “We believe in your potential and are confident you will make Zimbabwe proud. The journey starts now – go and shine.”
