Miss World Zimbabwe trustee, Crispen Sachikonye, recently released a statement, after which a controversy was raised between the organisation’s officials. Miss World Zimbabwe spokesperson Tendai Chirau blamed Crispen for releasing the statements without any consent.

Tendai was quoted saying, “Crispen’s sentiments are just a suggestion, which we are yet to deliberate on, as he did not get the full position of the trust and it is premature for us to discuss about it.” He explained, “I acknowledge that we work together with Crispen, as one of our trustees, but in terms of communication on issues to do with the trust, it is I and Marry Chiwenga, the chairperson of the trust, who give official communication. We have not sat down on this one, as Chrispen is resident in the United Kingdom.”

Crispen Sachikonye had issued a statement saying that they are trying to improve the pageant and putting in efforts. He said, “Over the last few years, the Miss Zimbabwe Trust has been looking for ways to improve the quality of the contest. To improve the quality of the Miss World Zimbabwe contest, new licensees to host the preliminaries to the contest will be appointed worldwide.”

Sachikonye continued, “As part of our focus on upgrading the pageant, we want to improve the quality of the contestants and the regional contests that feed into the main contest and the way preliminary shows in Zimbabwe and abroad are managed will also be improved to be more focused on promoting the contestants and Zimbabwe.”
