History has been made as Zimbabwe marked a spot at this year's edition of the Miss Universe to be held in El Salvador, Central America, in two months.
Saturday saw the rebirth of the beauty pageant as 21-year-old beautician, Brooke Bruk Jackson, was crowned winner at the glitz and glamour ceremony held at the giant Harare Hippodrome auditorium.
In an interview with The Herald soon after being crowned, Jackson said she was shocked to emerge the winner as this was her first time to enter into pageantry. "It came as a surprise and like I said, I need time to absorb this. I work at a local beauty spa as a therapist," she said. "My roles and duties in my life have changed, but I have not changed as a person," said Jackson."I am still Brooke Bruk Jackson, who has definitely grown on this journey so far, and I can't wait to be an ambassador for our beautiful nation, to serve our people, represent our country internationally and inspire the youth of Zimbabwe that anything in life is possible."
"It is an event that shows that as Zimbabweans we are stronger and determined than ever and thanks to this beautiful girl Tendai Hunda who had a dream and followed it. She was determined and we thank you so much. Whoever is going to win this pageant will not only represent themselves but will promote the brand Zimbabwe."
