Miss Zimbabwe booted out over her
leaked indecent pics
EMILY
Kachote was yesterday officially dethroned as Miss World Zimbabwe, paving way
for the first princess Annie Grace Mutambu.
In
a statement, the Miss Zimbabwe executive board said Kachote had violated the
rules and regulations governing the pageant.
“The
Miss Zimbabwe executive board would like to inform the nation that it has
resolved to dethrone Miss Emily Kachote as Miss World Zimbabwe 2015. Early this
month one of the local tabloids carried a story, which alleged that Miss Emily
Kachote’s nude photos had appeared on a WhatsApp group.
“This
report came shortly after Miss Emily had confessed that she had once posed
nude.
“This
was in violation of the rules and regulations governing the Trust which all the
contestants appended their signatures to,” read the statement.
Miss World Zimbabwe Trust regulation
number five reads: “Winners of the Miss Word Zimbabwe beauty pageant, whether a
title holder or a runner-up must not have posed nude professionally or socially
in all forms of media.

“Being
in a relationship, sexual advances towards anyone and any behavior categorized
as immoral by the Miss Zimbabwe Trust is grounds for instant disqualification
and dethronement.”
The
statement further reads: “It should be noted that during the scouting and the
preceding boot camp all aspiring models appended their signatures to these
regulations and undertook to abide by them.
“The
confession by Miss Emily Kachote that she once posed nude and her admission of
the existence of the photos led the Trust to dethrone her since her conduct was
a precise violation of rules governing the Trust.
“The
First Princess Miss Annie Grace Mutambu has since replaced Miss Emily Kachote.
In its quest to have a probity queen the Trust will not hesitate to effect its
rules and regulations governing it.”
In
an interview, Miss Zimbabwe Trust spokesperson Tendai Chirau confirmed the
development adding that a ceremony to crown the new queen and hand over prizes
to the winners would be held within a fortnight.
The
decision to dethrone Kachote ends weeks of speculation as the Trust took an
unprecedented five weeks to announce the decision. Kachote has faced the same
fate that befell her predecessor Thabiso Phiri, who was dethroned after a
similar scandal last year.
Mutambu
will represent Zimbabwe at Miss World 2015 to be held on December 19 at the
Crown of Beauty Theatre in Sanya, China where reigning queen Rolene Strauss of
South Africa will crown her successor.
