A highly criticized "Face of Africa" contest came to an end Saturday, November 29 when Ghana's 23-year-old Kate Aba Techie Menson beat the other nine finalist in Sun City's Super Bowl, South Africa. The nine finalist were Alli Balogun (Nigeria), Hamamat Montia (Ghana), Hiwot (Ethiopia), Joana (Angola), Lucy torr(Uganda), Maria Hiwilepo (Namibia), Noxi (Zambia) and Sasa (South Africa).

Menson who was discovered in Accra earlier this year takes home $50,000 plus a modelling contract from Oluchi Onweagba-Orlandis' O Model Africa.
