ALL HAIL THE QUEEN
ON Saturday night, the girl with the golden smile, Dabilo Moses, was crowned the country’s first ever Miss Supranational Botswana.
The 22-year-old stunner shone from the start of the competition, standing out for her beauty, poise and obvious intelligence.
Somewhat surprisingly, considering her head-turning good looks and natural grace, Moses’ pageantry adventure actually got off to a slow start, when she failed to make an impact at Miss Botswana 2021.
Two years later, the Maitengwe native is unstoppable, following up her Miss Independence success with Supranational glory.
Moses is confident this is just the beginning, and now has her sights set on global stardom as she prepares for Miss Supranational International in Poland this July.
After touring The Voice’s Gaborone offices this week, where she once again turned heads, the dashing queen sat down with LEUNGO MOKGWATHI for a quick chat.
Congratulations on being crowned the first ever Miss Supranational Botswana. Kindly introduce yourself to the people.
Dabilo Moses is a 22-yearold final year Broadcasting and Journalism student. I am from the village of Maitengwe and, most importantly, the reason you are even doing this feature, I am the first ever Miss
Supranational Botswana. I was crowned on Saturday by the gorgeous Lalela Mswane.
How does it feel to be queen? Has it sunk in yet?
When my name was announced as Miss Supranational Botswana, I was so shaken. Not because I was not well prepared and did not see the victory coming, but because this was the biggest moment of my life. It was truly a rollercoaster of emotions. I am so grateful for this opportunity and I am so content because I worked extremely hard for it.
As you mentioned, you were crowned by Lalela Mswane, former Miss South Africa and the reigning Miss Supranational International. What have you learnt from engaging with her?
Lalela is the definition of an inspirational and aspirational woman! When I finally got the chance to meet her, I was over the moon. My take home from my engagement with her is to always be authentic and to always be the truest and the best version of myself. She really inspired me to hold on to my principles and values, for that is what makes a queen. She also told me not to rush, because it is the gentle steps that will eventually take me to my destination, which is of course being crowned Miss Supranational International.
