Masvingo’s six-year-old model, Dillish Masango who made headlines after winning a pageant in Nigeria is fast becoming a household name as she continues to shine in beauty contests with her latest achievement being crowned First Runner Up at the prestigious Face of Kids Teen and Hub contest at Longcheng Plaza Harare recently.
Minenhle Mathema won the first-prize award under the Face of Kids and Teen Hub Girls’ 6-8 years category and walked away with US$600 cash, a US$300 shopping voucher as well as a one-year brand ambassadorship, followed by Masango who won a US$200 shopping voucher and Hannah Gezi on third position with a US$100 shopping voucher.
Masango’s mother, Rumbidzai Chisangowerotah told TellZim News that she was happy and proud of her daughter’s achievements so far considering her age.
“The girl is bigger than I thought. Each time she is on stage, she wows me with new skills and I am proud of her,” said Chisangowerotah.
Masango first made headlines after winning Miss Victoria Primary School after which she won the Little Miss Toto Africa Zimbabwe which landed her in Nigeria where she was representing her motherland.
Masango made waves in Nigeria when she was still five years old after bagging three titles namely Second Runnerup Toto Miss Africa, Miss Smile and Miss Popularity.
To cap off her greatest achievement so far, Masango is meant to contest at the much coveted World Imperial Beauties, an international pageant that takes place every year in Florida, United States, with two other winners from the Toto Africa in July this year.
