The Miss Namibia organization will soon create a platform where title holders will be given masterclasses in entrepreneurship and additional skills.

According to nbc's Director General Stanley Similo, the organization is transitioning away from solely providing platforms for beauty pageants.

Similo and the Miss Namibia Organization delegation paid a courtesy call to President Hage Geingob at State House.

Traditionally, beauty pegeants would just be a platform to crown the fairest of them all and offer lucrative prizes to title holders.

Over the years, this changed with the increasing need for beauty queens to use their platforms and influence for good and help tackle societal issues.

The Miss Namibia Organization says in recent months, the country has drawn international interest owing to its marketing strategy and ability to combine causes.

It will also incorporate a platform where title holders will be given masterclasses in entrepreneurial skills.

The recent months alone have been an eventful year for title holder, Cassia Sharpley, runner-ups Leone van Jaarsveld and Diana Andimba, as well as Miss Teen Namibia, Zoe Karsten.

Sharpley and Andimba flew Namibia's flag high at the Miss Universe and Miss Earth pageants, respectively.

Although they did not win the coveted crowns, the platforms served as a springboard.

Miss Namibia's first runner-up, Van Jaarsveld, and Miss Teen, Karsten, will strut their stuff during the Miss World and Miss Teen World pageants this year.

At present, the nbc owns 30% of the Miss Namibia Organization and is in the process of acquiring 100% ownership.
