In the grand finale of Miss Tanzania 2018, also known as Miss World Tanzania 2018, held on 8th September 2018 at JINCC (Julius Nyerere International Convention Centre), Queen Elizabeth Makune was crowned the new queen. She will now represent Tanzania at Miss World 2018 to be held on 7th December 2018 in Sanya, China.
Elizabeth Makune was crowned by Miss World Tanzania 2017 Julitha Kabete. Julitha represented Tanzania at Miss World 2017 but failed to get a place in the Top 40. However, she did get placed in the Top 20 at Beauty with a Purpose.
Elizabeth is 22 years of age and was crowned Miss Kinondon 2018 before winning the title of Miss World Tanzania 2018. She is a student of accounting and was crowned the wiiner amongst 19 other contestants. Elizabeth was already a crowd favourite and further wooed the audience during the Top 5 Q&A round where she proved that she was smart as well as beautiful. As a winner, she was awarded a car among other prizes.
The court of Miss World Tanzania 2018 Queen Elizabeth Makune includes –
1st runner-up - Nelly Kazikazi
2nd runner-up - Sandra Giovinazzo
Both Nelly and Sandra were in Angelopedia’s Miss Tanzania 2018 Top 6 Hot Picks.
Tanzania is yet to bring home the crown of Miss World. The closest the nation has come to winning the crown was in the year 2005 when Miss World Tanzania 2005 Nancy Sumari was placed in the Top 6 at Miss World 2005.
We wish Elizabeth all the very best for her delegacy as Tanzania’s representative at Miss World 2018.
