The 19-year-old Sango appreciated the North West District Council (NWDC)’s support for her achievement. She appealed to residents to work with her on the project.

Sango said determination and passion were the steps to achieve any dream and any life goals.

She encouraged people to pursue their desires without fear.

“Winners benefit from each failure they come across, they never give up because everyone has a potential in anything,” she said.

North West District Council chairperson, Duncan Enga encouraged Khwai residents to support the Ministry of Local Government pageant programme for it to be successful.

Enga advised the community to join hands in nurturing and developing children for the programme at a tender age since they knew their children better.

He applauded Sango for raising the Khwai flag high.
