Watch Miss West Africa III - Banjul, Gambia 2013; The Crowning Of Vanny Reis

As we get ready to show to you, the amazing footage and crowning of our new beautiful queen, Miss West Africa IV, Maria Sawaneh who was crowned this year in Cape Verde, March 2013. We didn't think it would be appropriate to bring you that footage without showing to our dedicated fans the footage they missed and were dieing to see footage of the 2011 event.

This might seem like just another pageant, but it is a storm and whirlwind of great memories of some of the greatest people we've met in West Africa.









The delay of the footage came when Vox Africa UK had promised to showcase the event on TV in May 2012 with their recorded footage but never did nor outline why. Nevertheless we managed to get hold of more footage due to great contacts and videographers there on the night. We did our best to bring to you a nicely documentary of the event that took place and ensure you your countries and sheroes were well represented.

Congrats to every lady that took part, and congrats to all those that organised and help organised the event to make it a success. The road to discovering our Miss West Africa International queens has not been easy, it will never be. But every now and then, these beautiful pageants and their dedication to their country and heritage makes it worthwhile.

Thank You all. Video footage of Miss West Africa International IV (2013) coming up next on Miss West Africa TV. Exclusive footage of the exciting event that took place in Cape Verde 2013. Subscribe to our youtube channels and networks for instant updates.

Designers like Nabu Diagne were not easy on Marième Faye Sall especially with Barack Obama's visit to Senegal. "She dresses badly." This was the judgment against the first lady by Senegalese designer Nabu Diagne.

This opinion is not shared by the other representative of the Senegalese people, namely Thioro Diop newly crowned Miss West Africa Belgium 2013. On holiday in Senegal, she raised her voice to microphone of Leuksenegal and said "First I must say that this is the first time that we have a first lady of good Senegalese complexion to the palace of the republic. It is a pride for us, who values ​​of the essense Senegalese women. I think she has good reason to wear a traditional African outfit with the model of choice to highlight our own culture. She dresses well as first lady. It is her critics who fell off the plate. "

The Miss West Africa queen continues "One should not focus on such details to entertain us. We shouldn't waste time on such issues. Rather we should be concerned with things that take us forward.".
