President Yoweri Museveni recently had a few suggestions for Miss Uganda after an impressive run at Miss World event: be natural.
The Ugandan president asked the newly-crowned Miss World Africa Quiin Abenakyo to lose her wig and go for natural hair to show true African beauty.
“I congratulate our muzukulu on these accolades and also salute her for recently completing her university degree course,” tweeted Museveni.
“She is a true definition of beauty coupled with brains. My only concern is that she was wearing Indian hair. I have encouraged her to keep her natural African hair. We must show African beauty in its natural form.”
