Miss Zimbabwe is a national Beauty pageant in Zimbabwe that began in 1980. The current Director and National Director is Patience Muzanenhamo-Lusengo.
The Miss Zimbabwe was founded in 1980 when the national beauty pageant was transformed from Miss Rhodesia after attaining independence.[1]
In 2011, Miss Tourism Zimbabwe was crowned Miss World Zimbabwe, Miss Tourism Zimbabwe, and Miss Universe Zimbabwe. Especially for Miss Universe Zimbabwe did not allow to compete at Miss Universe by Miss Universe Organization. As a result in 2011, for the first time, the Miss Universe Zimbabwe title was competed at Miss International 2011 in Chengdu, China and she was awarded the most expressive award.
In 2014, chairperson Marry Chiwenga said the reasons for the 22-year-old university law student's resignation were “a prerequisite to both the Miss Zimbabwe and the Miss World pageants”. Thabiso is understood to have volunteered the information which necessitated her stepping down to the Trust. Thabiso is likely to be replaced by first princess Tendai Hunda.[2] The current president and National Director is Patience Muzanenhamo-Lusengo.
