I remember very well everyone being on her case trying to
persuade her to take part in the pageant but she was reluctant, reluctant for a
good reason, the reason that it takes time to prepare for something like that
and time was just not on her side, i mean she had organise outfits, shoes, make
up and the works and not to forget that the lecturers were also expecting their
assignments to be handed in on time. With so many stumbling blocks it all seemed
impossible.
Somehow we managed to get through to her and here i am
writing as a happy and proud Journalism student, proud of Donna Ncube as she
conquered against all odds.
Miss Nust 2013 was held on the 2nd of March 2013
and for the first time the beauty pageant was held at the ceremonial hall.
Friday the 1st of March i remember we were all excited because Donna
had decided to take part in the event and also because entrance to the event
had been made free. Initially it had been said that we had to pay $3 to be part
of the event and then i thought that was highly unfair since we are students of
the institution and there was no reason for us to pay to be part of our
school’s event.
We all rallied behind Donna and we called ourselves TEAM
DONNA, Saturday afternoon we met in town and we made our way to school to
support our girl and to our surprise there was no electricity and we did not
let this dampen our spirits, thanks to the generators the event still went on
as scheduled.
Hosted by Sarah Mpofu who is a guru in her right, the event
started later into the evening. I remember when the models took to the stage
there was loud cheering and the girls looked ravishing in their white vests and
jeans and i remember we practically screamed our lungs out when our model took
to the stage; she was looking beautiful as always. The girls then changed to
their casual wear and Donna spotted a green and black dress that made her stand
out from the rest and the house just went ecstatic for her.
What particularly caught my eye was the sportswear category,
whilst everyone opted for the tennis and swimming look, Donna went all out and
modelled the soccer kit of Barcelona and she even had soccer boots and a soccer
ball to go with it.
(A proud moment with Donna)
Nightwear then followed and she changed into a body hugging
purple ensemble that looked like it had been made just for her and all i could
think about at that time was Stevie Wonder’s song “isn’t she lovely” because
indeed she was lovely.
The time came for the results to be announced and she made
it to the top 7 and eventually she made it to top 3 as she was crowned the 2nd
princess of the night and at this instance TEAM DONNA just went wild, we were
so happy and proud and we just took the stage and we could not help but lift
her up....
THANK YOU SO MUCH DONNA FOR FLYING OUR FLAG UP HIGH, WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU and WE
LOVE YOU....
so proud of you donna!!!
