Omaheke supports Rejoice

Rejoice Nunuhes will be representing the Omaheke Region in the Miss Republic of Namibia beauty pageant which will take place in March 2018 in Windhoek. During the official handover ceremony of the donation held in the council chambers on the regional council, chairperson Ignatius Kariseb said the council decided to donate the money to Nunuhes to ensure that the region would be represented nationally as her participation would put the region on the map. “The participation of Miss Nunuhes in this beauty pageant should, therefore, not be taken as her individual endeavour, but a regional collective,” Kariseb said.

The Miss Republic of Namibia pageant is an initiative of the Paulina Malulu Trust, owned by the Miss Namibia 2013 winner after which the Trust was named. The pageant will be held this year for the first time. Speaking during the handover ceremony, Nunuhes said she would use the donation to purchase items required for the finalists' boot camp and the crowning event. All these contributions are part of the council's social responsibility aimed at assisting the council in its quest to ensure regional development, improve the welfare of communities and promote a positive image of the council, Kariseb said.
