ANOTHER AFRICAN WINS MISS WORLD

A 22 year old South African, Rolene Strauss was the winner of this year's Miss World beauty pageant.
The pageant was staged in London on Sunday.

 Edina Kulcsár a Hungarian came second and Elizabeth Safrit, representing the United States, came third.
Recall that this year’s pageant which is the 64th, was marred by tragedy after a Honduran beauty queen was found shot dead in a suspected crime of passion, days before she was due to take part.

The pageant’s 124 contestants travelled to the Oxford Union society earlier this month, to discuss whether such competitions still had a place in modern society.

British media had reported that some students from Oxford University were disappointed that the event failed to generate a lively debate on the subject.

A Nigerian, Agbani Darego, was the first African ever to wear the crown in 2011.
