BLACK BARBIE

It really is such a pity that Dorah Mtetwa has such poor communication skills. She is easily the most beautiful black contestant to have graced the stage at Miss SA since the first black contestants were allowed to compete in 1977.

She is a real Black Beauty and would nail the African "spot" at Miss Universe or Miss World, but for the fact that she is required to open her mouth and string at least three words together to make a coherent sentence. She has the face and body of a Barbie doll and any international panel of judges would sit up and take notice.

Oh well! I suppose we're going to have to settle for our current intelligent B-grade title-holder to keep the flag flying, and cross our fingers and toes and hope that she has some hidden talents that will impress the judges.
