Dang it! - Joburg Gets Miss World 2008

September 5, 2008

Had I known the Miss World 2008 organizers were looking so hard and wanted a decision so quickly, I would have volunteered to host the Miss World 2008 pageant at my place in Silicon Valley. We have a reputation here, too, you know.

Still when Ukraine ran into problems, Joburg stepped up and the Miss World Organization agreed. Hotel arrangements, suitable venue and the necessary backing all fell into place.

Quote

” The speed with which they have implemented their proposal and the professional and dedicated support of Lindiwe and the JTC team have already demonstrated that we can stage the most successful Miss World in our history.

We look forward to working with the city of Johannesburg to promote their World Class City in over 180 countries during our one month Miss World Festival. Our goal is to bring more visitors to your vibrant city so that they too can enjoy the sights and sounds of Joburg and the hospitality if its people.”

Yeah, if all these girls were coming my way, I’d be looking forward to it, too.

Last year, the hometown girl Zi Lin Zhang of China won. Are we to expect another home town girl?

It’s the 6th time that Joburg will host the competition.
