Miss Namibia Prisca Anyolo describes her experience at the pageant as life-changing when she received her prizes, ranging from a vehicle to cash.
"It's because of people like you that little girls like myself's dreams come true. People don't always realise how much of a catalyst beauty pageants are for transforming and changing a woman's life. In order to make sure that we make a positive impact in someone's life, this is one of those very small gifts that I am very grateful for, and trust me, what I am planning on doing for my country is worth so much more than that, so thank you."
nbc's Director General Stanley Similo conveyed his appreciation to the sponsors.
"In no particular order, all our sponsors who made this event possible today are about you. It's to say thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. I think we can applaud that because if the sponsors are not onboard, an event such as this cannot happen."
Pupkewitz Motors, the long-standing main sponsor, presented her with the grand prize: a brand-new Toyota Starlet Cross, co-sponsored by Debmarine Namibia.
"We want to give Miss Namibia a vehicle as a gift, and I want to extend it to you to also give tonight more than you receive, give your friendship, give your joy, give your peace, and reach out to other people."
Debmarine Namibia also awarded Miss Namibia with N$150,000 in cash, a monthly allowance of N$36,000 for the year, and N$2,000 for making it to the Top 10.
Debmarine Namibia's CEO, Willy Mertenz, applauded the nbc for pulling off a magnificent production and for the opportunities created through the event.
"We are doing this for our communities, communities such as these two beautiful ladies sitting here or women that will go and represent us crossing the borders show that Namibia also matters when it comes to these things."
The CEO of the Miss Namibia Organization, Umbi Karuaihe-Upi, was thrilled with the sponsors and with those who showed interest in joining.
"Today, I just want to show you the evidence of your hard work and sponsorship. Also, today we want to say thank you to you. All the speakers that spoke before me said that we wouldn't have been here if we didn't have you, so thank you to each and every one for contributing to all these, ladies."
Other sponsors include Signature Cosmetics, I AM HAIR & BEAUTY, Windhoek Optics, Fantastic Samuel Nails Perfection, and Coca-Cola Bottling Company, all offering a variety of luxurious prizes to ensure the queen's reign is both glamorous and memorable.
