Anicia Gaothusi, the newly crowned Miss Botswana 2024, exudes confidence and grace as she embarks on her journey towards the Miss World crown. The 22-year-old beauty from Tutume shared that winning the title of Miss Botswana was a validation of her hard work and dedication. In a dazzling event held at the Royal Aria in Tlokweng, Anicia was crowned Miss Botswana, with Halle Hirschfeld as the First Princess and Sebaga Manyapetsa as the Second Princess.
Reflecting on her victory, Anicia expressed gratitude towards the support she received from the people of Botswana. She believed that the Miss Botswana platform would serve as a catalyst for personal growth not only for herself but for others as well. Anicia’s journey to the crown was not without its challenges, but she remained steadfast in her belief in herself and her abilities.
One of the key qualities that set Anicia apart from the other finalists was her commitment to unity. She emphasized that unity is essential for building a strong foundation upon which a nation can thrive. During the Q&A segment of the pageant, Anicia highlighted the importance of unity in the context of representing Botswana as Miss Botswana.
Having previously achieved success as the second runner-up in Miss Teen International 2019, Anicia is no stranger to the world stage. She aspires to follow in the footsteps of her predecessors and win the coveted Miss World title. While she acknowledges the pressure of living up to the legacy of Miss World Africa, Anicia sees it as an opportunity for inspiration rather than intimidation.
Anicia’s Beauty with a Purpose project, “Lights for empowering people for health,” reflects her advocacy for primary healthcare. Inspired by her grandmother, a retired nurse who played a pivotal role in her upbringing, Anicia is dedicated to empowering individuals, especially the underprivileged, to take charge of their own health and well-being.
Looking ahead to the 72nd edition of Miss World, Anicia is determined to make Botswana proud. With a strong belief in her abilities and a deep sense of gratitude towards her supporters, she sets her sights on bringing the Miss World crown home. As she embarks on this transformative journey, guided by the wisdom of former queens and the support of her community, Anicia remains steadfast in her conviction that her dream of winning Miss World will soon become a reality.
