nbc Cares, in collaboration with local partners, held a charity event aimed at giving back to the community.

The heartwarming event is to distribute basic winter supplies to vulnerable community members during this harsh winter season.

nbc Cares, in collaboration with local partners, handed out 100 blankets and 500 cups of soup, bread, and juice.

The day was filled with compassion and the desire to connect with the community in a spirit of togetherness. 

nbc Director General Stanley Similo says the tourism sector stands to benefit from beauty pageants such as Miss Namibia.

Pageants are known to play an integral role in promoting tourism by attracting visitors from different regions to participate in or witness such events. 

Speaking on Namibia Connects following the successful hosting of Miss Teen and Miss Namibia, Similo emphasised the impact beauty contests can have on the tourism sector.

Prisca Anyolo has been crowned Miss Namibia 2024, with Lenna Mugena taking the title of 1st runner-up and Georgia Garises securing 2nd runner-up.

The event celebrated the outstanding grace and talent of these young women, with Prisca leading the way as the new face of Namibian beauty.

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. 

The Luderitz Waterfront Development Company CEO, Fluksman Samuehl, received the memorable gifts on behalf of the Miss Teen and Miss Namibia finalists.

The Director General of the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation (nbc), Stanley Similo, has expressed concern over the reluctance of some corporate entities to invest in the Miss Namibia beauty pageant. 

Similo was speaking at a dinner at Luderitz on the eve of the Miss Namibia beauty pageant contest.

As all roads lead to the coastal town of Luderitz for the Miss Teen and Miss Namibia Pageants, the police assured residents and visitors of security.

The top ten Miss Namibia finalists graced the Zambezi Region with their presence over the past weekend.

Zambezi Governor Alufea Sampofu welcomed the team to the region and reminded them about the importance and mission they have as ambassadors of each region and town they visit to the rest of the country and the world.

The Miss Namibia and Miss Teen beauty pageants have now entered the final stage with the announcement of the ten finalists for both competitions.

The Miss Namibia Organisation announced the finalists at a glitzy two-day preliminary event held in Windhoek over the weekend.

The ten selected include women from diverse backgrounds.

Entries for the beauty extravaganza opened in March, and by the time it closed, a total of 102 entries were received for both pageants.

Following the close of entries, 20 semi-finalists were selected for each pageant.

The Namibia Broadcasting Corporation's executive management is on a fact-finding mission in ||Kharas Region to explore the possibilities of hosting both the 2024 Miss Namibia and Miss Teen pageants at Luderitz. 

The executive management, led by nbc's Chief News and Programming Officer Menesia Muinjo, met with the Luderitz Waterfront Development Company management as well as the Luderitz business community to deliberate the possibility of hosting the national beauty pageants there.
