Hamamat Montia & Kate A. T. Menson -- Daily Graphic File PhotoWhile 20-year-old Hamamat Montia and 22-year-old Kate Aba Techie Menson were last week picked to represent Ghana in Face Of Africa contest, there has been all kinds of stuff popping up from the rumor mills that the casting crew and scouts weren't living up to the creed of the draw from the moment it began about ten years ago when then 17-year-old Nigerian-born Oluchi Onweagba captured the crown in its debut.
Reports last week echoed by Zimbabwe's The Herald, Trust Khosa had pointed out that 20-year-old Gamuchirai Tawengwa and 23-year-old Rudo Ndugu did not make the draw during the casting held in Zambia on the ground the 2005 Face Of Africa winner, Botswana's Kaone Kario who has been on the helm of affairs in this year's castings and scoutings had used her position to deny them the privilege of sailing through.
Meanwhile, Gamuchirai and Rudo weren't happy from what had unfolded and as a result, they threw all sorts of insults at Kaone. With the final casting that took place at the Hotel Alvalade, Luanda, Angola, last weekend, the finalists will now head to Zanzibar's Scenic Island where the ten finalists will emerge for the catwalks and eventual winner of the contest.
The results not being announced or revealed on time from the various cities is not adding 'spice' to the contest, according to the critics. Hopefully, all the results will be revealed in a timely fashion with the best announced as winner in the view of the casting and scouting crew.
Go Africa Go!
