President Yoweri Museveni has expressed disapprobation of Miss Uganda cum Miss World Africa, Quinn Abenakyo’s hair, saying it does not represent true African beauty.
Museveni made the statements while hosting Abenakyo at State
House Entebbe yesterday.
“Abenakyo is indeed a tall, beautiful Musoga girl. My only concern is that she was wearing Indian hair. I have encouraged her to keep her natural, African hair. We must show African beauty in its natural form,” he said.
The president pledged support to the Miss Uganda franchise especially to the projects that Abenakyo is advocating for. He thanked Abenakyo’s parents for instilling values in their child.
“I must commend Abenakyo's parents for raising her with values. Many young people today rush into promiscuity and ruin their lives, yet a little patience and completing school would give them a foundation on which to enjoy the rest of their lives with their spouses. Again, I congratulate Muzukulu Abenakyo on this feat. Going forward, the government will support the Miss Uganda Foundation.”
“I congratulate our muzukulu on these accolades and also salute her for recently completing her university degree course. She is a true definition of beauty coupled with brains. She also told me she is an advocate of responsible living among young people. She is specifically focusing on helping young girls lead responsible, healthy lifestyles.”
Abenakyo who doubles as the clean water campaign ambassador, a program for Ugandans in North America under their umbrella - UNAA Causes emerged third at the world stage in China.
The Clean Water campaign by UNAA Causes aims at benefiting Ugandans who have limited or no access to clean water.
