Glitz and glamour filled the Blue Pearl Hotel on Saturday night as Brigitte Alfred from Sinza got crowned the new Miss Tanzania for 2012 at a hotly contested final.Brigitte, who walked home with a Toyota Noah and Sh8 million, outsmarted other 29 contestants at the colourful gala. Eugene Fabian from the lake Zone emerged the first runner up, and bagged Sh6 million while the third spot went to Edda Sylvester from Temeke, who walked away with Sh4 million. “I’m so happy and excited for the award, I promise not to let Tanzanians down in the Miss World event,” said the elated queen as she stood in front of her grand prize. Brigitte could not hide her joy, as the outgoing Miss Tanzania, Salha Israel relinquished the crown to her. Brigitte becomes the eighteenth contestant to take the Miss Tanzania crown since its re-inception in 1994. Brigitte’s mother Verdiana Mashingia, who accompanied her daughter during the contest, could not hide her joy as she told me how honoured she was to witness her daughter making her and the country proud. “We are all happy tonight, Brigitte has done us proud and I’m certain that she will do just the same for her country,” said the emotional mother. The director of Miss Tanzania organising committee, Dr Ramesh Shah, told the ecstatic audience that it was yet another night of proving how the country was ready to produce a talent to battle it out in the global arena, later this year. “We have been staging this event for the past 18 years and it is evident that we all want to have the best for the Miss World contest and make our country proud,” noted Dr Shah, amid a round of applause. |
