New unique pageant unveiled

ZURI Africa is set to stage its inaugural beauty pageant, Vivacity, in August this year to promote natural beauty with contestants doing away with make-up as has become the norm in most modelling shows.

Participants in the pageant — running under the theme: My Culture, My Pride — will not be allowed to use make up, wear wigs and high heels.

Vivacity Arts Association director Eutychus Chamunorwa said the programme was meant to promote natural beauty.
