Tinotenda Hove – Rising model Kudzaishe Chimedza has made a remarkable mark on Zimbabwe’s pageant scene after securing two prestigious titles at the recently held Miss Tourism Zimbabwe finals at Borrowdale, Harare.

Chimedza was crowned Second Queen, a significant national honour, and also walked away with the People’s Choice Award after amassing an impressive 25,000 votes. Her closest competitor in that category, Irene Tururu from Victoria Falls, trailed far behind with 8,000 points — a clear sign of Chimedza’s widespread popularity and support.

The double win is a testament to her grace, confidence, and growing influence in Zimbabwe’s modelling industry.

Following this achievement, Chimedza is now gearing up to represent Zimbabwe at the 2026 Miss Icon International pageant. Although the host country is yet to be announced, her selection confirms her place among the nation’s top beauty queens.

Kudzaishe’s success has sparked celebration and pride, with many hailing her as a symbol of determination and elegance. Her journey is a reminder that Zimbabwean talent continues to shine on both local and international stages.
