The heat is definitely on with choices going through rigorous scrutiny giving Africa's most vibrant beauty contest a mark that is beginning to set its tone globally. Since no one was picked in Malawi and while the identity of the girl from Uganda in Saturday's search is yet to be known, two more names have been added --Namibia's 19-year-old hairdresser Albertina Shigwedha and 24-year-old student pilot Maria Hiwilepo, joining Botswana's Totwana 'Tito' Tema in the quest for an Africa beauty queen to be held in Sun City, South Africa in November.

The pick from Uganda during the weekend scouting will be announced later this week. Go Africa Go!!
