Miss Teen Namibia Second Runner-up Timica Goeieman teamed up with the Bikers Club and Roads Authority to hand over sanitary pads to the School for the Visually Impaired in the Capital.

Goeieman says she's passionate about helping people with disabilities, hence the decision to gather sanitary pads for girls at the School for the Visually Impaired.

Speaking on behalf of the biker clubs, Sydney Boois says there is nothing too small when giving a helping hand.

Organisers of the coveted Miss Namibia pageant say it is all systems go in Swakopmund this weekend.

The main pageant will be preceded by Miss Teen Namibia on Friday, followed by the big occasion on Saturday.

Organising Committee Member Beaulah Boois-Beukes says the stage is set for the contestants to showcase their talent.

The annual glam and glitz events bring together Namibians from all walks of life as well as giving a platform to local designers to showcase their creations.

The closing date for applications for Miss Namibia and Miss Teen Namibia is Wednesday, April 12.

Interested applicants are urged to visit the regional offices of the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation (nbc) to access application forms and get the chance to represent Namibia on the international stage.

Since the nbc took over 100% ownership of the Miss Namibia Organization, the corporation has been going on roadshows throughout the country to ensure inclusive participation in the beauty pageant, which will take place in Swakopmund in June.
