Miss Curvy Africa founder, Mercy Mushaninga said the event will be more of a cultural exhibition.
“The parade is sort of a mini carnival whereby the models will be wearing their cultural attires showcasing their diverse cultures and tribes,” she said.
“We have models from Masvingo, Bulawayo, Murehwa and other provinces. So we want them to showcase their culture from where they originally come from.”
Already, the models are preparing and doing research on their different cultures.
“We have allowed the models, if they can, to bring in culture groups from their respective provinces to spice up their presentations,” Mushaninga said.
