She’s beautiful, elegant, stunning and brilliant. These words are probably not enough to qualify twenty-three-year-old ‘Neurite Mendes‘ from Angola, who beat 17 other contestants to emerge the winner of 2016 Miss Africa pageant. The competition which was organized by Cross River State government, took place on November 27th, in Calabar. Ms. Mendes took home $25,000 and a car. Refilwe Mthimunye of South Africa was the first runner-up and Jencey Anwifoje of Cameroon was the second runner-up. Both ladies went home with $15,000 and $10,000 respectively.
