Miss Universe runners-up take on new pageantry roles

Lisa Sibanda was crowned Miss International Zimbabwe 2024.

After the crowning of Sakhile Dube as Miss Universe Zimbabwe 2024, the first princess, Lisa Sibanda, and second runner-up Ruvimbo Njomboro were automatically given international pageantry queen titles to represent Zimbabwe this year.

Lisa Sibanda was crowned Miss International Zimbabwe 2024.

She will compete for the 62nd Miss International Crown, which will take place in Tokyo on November 12.

Sibanda is a 31-year-old lawyer, hailing from Chitungwiza, and founder of "Face the Lion Foundation," an organisation that empowers women to speak out against gender-based violence.

Ruvimbo Njomboro was crowned Miss Cosmo Zimbabwe 2024.

The beauty queen will compete against 70 models in Ho Chi Minh City from September to October this year.

The pageantry competition is still new, but it's part of the Miss Universe competition. It was founded by Uni Media with the aim of creating a platform where impactful beauty takes center stage.

The winner of Miss Cosmo will receive a cash prize of US$100 000.

The two queens were both crowned early this month in preparation for their competitions that will be held later this year.

 This will allow them not only to represent Zimbabwe as runner-ups, but also as queens in each pageant category they won awards and be able to showcase their talents and advocacy skills.
