Luderitz businesswoman Linda Loose has presented, as a token of appreciation, handcrafted necklaces to each finalist for Miss Teen and Miss Namibia before the crowning ceremonies. 

Loose herself handcrafted the necklaces from semi-precious agate stones. 

Elaine Engelbrecht was crowned Miss Teen 2024 at a glittering ceremony held at Luderitz last night. 

Winning the Miss Teen title was an overwhelming and emotional moment for 15-year-old Engelbrecht, a student at Centaurus High School.
