Miss DRCongo 2010 Event Review
On Friday July 2, 2010, the Disk & Jockey organisation decided to hold an event to commemorate the Democratic Republic of Congo’s 50th Independence Day celebration; it started at 9pm at IF Bar in Ilford (east London), but on a sad note with the news of the explosion of an oil tanker in Sange (Kivu, DRC) where more than 220 people were killed...
Nevertheless, the show had to go on, and even more so now; with the purpose to portray the unity and strength of the culture to everyone that had never actually seen or heard about the DRC.
We had nine Congolese models to firstly perform a group dance, then individual talents followed by three fashion runs (traditional, bikini and evening). This was all judged by a panel of five who took turns questioning the girls regarding the aspirations of being an ambassador of the DRC.
All parts demonstrated the beauty, elegance and power of DRC women – far from some of the sombre images that come from the years of African civil war the nation has been involved in…
Within the gaps as the models were changing their outfits, local artists such as Beebiz, TC, Eye 2 Eye, Asita, Point 3, and Cameron shone in front an audience of 900 spectators.
It was a very difficult task for the judges until they revealed their final decisions which were:
Rachel Kazadi as the best evening wear
Anais Etutu as the best talent
Yasmin Kalume as the 2nd runners up
Assanati Mpele as the 1st runners up
And Amelia Lola - as Miss Congo UK 2010
Then a speech was made and addressed to the youth; reminding them of how the DRC acquired their independence, and pivotal moments throughout the years consequently triggering some solutions to the current issues occurring. This was read in French by Mike Pongo and in English by myself. It was then time for us to signal a minute of silence for everyone that has died for the DRC over the past 50 years…
Party on! As promised a group of DJs finished the night on a high note with good music and a pumping after-party that ran long into the night.
Respect to the DRC, it’s women, children and men – past, present and future.
Words: Mike Batanga
