Miss World 2025 began six days ago and twenty African countries are vying for the crown. However, some Africans who withdrew from MW 2025 are quite a number. We have Tanzania, Morocco, Guinea Bissau, Liberia and Lesotho and we really miss them already.
Our first queen is Tracy Nabukeera of Tanzania. If you remember, she announced her withdrawal last April, citing lack of support and inadequate preparations for her withdrawal.
Our second queen is Sonia Mansour of Morocco. Now this country has not been part of the Miss World pageant for over fifty years and we were all looking forward to having Morocco in our corner. However, it was not to be as Miss World Morocco disappointed us once again by not attending. And in this case, we were not given any reason why this beauty would not grace the international stage with other world beauties, this May.
MW Lesotho, Lerato Masila was another no show at Miss World 2025. In the first place, Ms Masila was Miss World Lesotho 2023. However, no queen was chosen for MW 2024 or 2025 and because of that, Lerato was chosen to represent Lesotho in India 2025.
But last minute, Lesotho also withdrew from the pageant without giving us any reason. Thus joining other Africans who withdrew from MW 2025.
Finally, Miss Kindness Wilson who doubles as Miss Global Liberia 2024/5 and Miss World Liberia 2024/5 was withdrawn from the prestigious pageant. According to the Ministry of Information, Cultural Affairs & Tourism, Ms Wilson has been suspended for a breach of her pageant contract.
In addition, she is undertaking community service and receiving counselling as corrective measures. Her suspension came following accusations of assault and the investigation therein. We would miss her because her performance at Miss Global earlier this year was impressive.
In closing, we hope to see these sister countries at the 73rd edition of Miss World, come 2026. Till then, be good.
Oh, hope we are all tuned to the ongoing Miss World pageant festival. It is quite colourful.
Till next post when we address this withdrawal matters, have a blast every day by making up your mind to be happy Only one chance to live people, make it count.
