Models Stranded as Chaotic Pageant Organisers Vanish

At least seven models were left stranded after organisers of the recently-held Miss Manicaland failed to provide them with transport fares.

They had to look for their own bus fares after being left to starve. Karen Sakupwanya won the contest.

Lashley “Mr United Nations” Kashesha, the organiser, could not be reached for comment as his mobile phone was not reachable.

Models, who spoke to this publication, confirmed the chaos and condemned the organisers. A model said:

“We were starved and stuck after he failed to give us money for transport. We had to return by bus after our parents paid from Harare.

Another one said:

“We just finished Miss Manicaland and we felt there was some rigging since the crown was given to someone who doesn’t know catwalk.
