Miss Zimbabwe dethroned over nude pictures

For the second year in a row, organisers of the Miss Zimbabwe beauty pageant have dethroned the country’s beauty queen over a nude photo scandal, reports the state-owned Herald Newspaper.

 

Emily Kachote was crowned Miss Zimbabwe in April, and was due to represent her country in the Miss World contest in China in December.

But organisers of the Miss Zimbabwe competition say that Ms Kachote “violated the rules and regulations” of the pageant which forbid contestants from having “posed nude professionally or socially”.

Ms Kachote had informed the organisers that she had once posed for nude photographs before local tabloids then picked up the story, reports the Herald.
