The nbc with its Miss Namibia Organization met with Miss Namibia Patron Michelle Mclean-Bailey.

Also present were Miss Namibia Cassia Sharpley with Umbi Karuaihe-Upi, the new Chief Executive Officer.

The event was held together with a promotion of some local products.

The National Broadcasting Corporation has fully taken over Miss Namibia.

This was announced at a reveal event in Windhoek.
Miss Namibia National Director Conny Maritz handed over the management of Miss Namibia to Umbi Karuaihe-Upi as the new Chief Executive Officer.

Maritz says one of her greatest joys of being the National Director for 23 years was working with numerous pageant participants especially, those who had the privilege to bear the Miss Namibia crown as well as those who represented the country internationally.

Miss USA, R'Bonney Gabriel, was crowned Miss Universe 2023 last night during the 71st edition of the beauty pageant.

Representatives from 84 countries participated in the competition.

Gabriel faced off against Venezuela's Amanda Dudamen and Andreina Martinez from the Dominican Republic before she walked off with the 2023 crown.

Namibia was represented at this year's pageant by Cassia Sharpley.
