Thata Kenosi entered the competition with full knowledge and understanding of the set rules stated as "no visible tatoos, her tatoos on her lower rib and at the back on the neck.
2. Miss Botswana management and Botswana council of women council organizers of Miss Botswana 2016 overlooked the set rules set by them,governed by the Laws of the Republic of BOTSWANA as stated in the Miss Botswana Top 12 contract by allowing Thata Kenosis mother visiting her daughter in the boot camp and even assured her that Ministry of Youth Sports and Culture has a bigger picture of her daughter winning this years Miss Botswana.
We, Batswana strongly belief that rules were violated right from the beginning of the auditions until the coronation night, and that the rightful finalist who could have won this years crown was denied this fair and transparent opportunity.
We advocate in the midst of the voices of so thousands Batswanas that Thata Kenosi be disqualified from reperesenting the country at Miss World this November 2016.
2. We also advocate for Miss World to come forward and issue a press release about these strong allegations of corruption, maladministration and mismanagement in the Miss Botswana pageant as far as the Miss Botswana pageantry License is concerned; because the whole nation cannot just cry fowl over nothing.
We would like to be represented with honesty by someone who will take her duties seriously and Inspire young women here at home and around the world

The momentum building behind this request reflects a shared commitment to fairness and integrity in our national pageantry. We are nearing one thousand signatures and reaching this threshold will signal to the organizers that our call for accountability cannot be ignored.

The outrage and concern showed in reference to how the pageant was conducted needs to be heeded an ear. It cannot be that rules are seemingly flouted and nothing is done to address the concerns raised.
As a former Miss Botswana organiser of 2009, 2010,2011 and 2013. I'm happy with the judgement system which has proven favouritism, unfairly judgement from stage , talent and questions session.
Rules are rules. What is so special about her that she gets special set of rules? Favoritism must fall. She must be disqualified. I love my Botswana & i stand against injustice.
Miss Botswana judgement was unfair,didnt follow the rules.The Queen has tattoos,she was given special treatment during bootcamp,the judge Lawrence Ookeditse works for the sponsoring company of the event hence conflict of interest.Other girls performed way better than her.
Let all the rules be fair and thoroughly explained to the public so that all Batswana can apply them to effect. Not such that only the minority can use them to their advantage. A competition needs to be on an equal and fair basis such that a winner amongst the rest, based on the same template can be chosen.
lets promote fair competition...
