| 2018-03-19 |
| [All Africa] Sithembiso Mutukura beat 12 other contestants to claim the crown at Zim-bob-we's first-ever Miss Albinism beauty contest -- an achievement she hopes will inspire others living with the rare disorder. "We must continue to advocate for our rights and I hope my win will empower the girl child," the 22-year-old social work student said. "I have gone through a lot, but I want people living with albinism to be brave and persevere in life." During the event in Harare on Friday night, the contestants had to respond to questions on stage and model a range of gowns and traditional African robes. Mutukura was awarded US$85 (almost €70) in prize money after being named winner. |
