Ugandans Borrow a Leaf from Their Kenyan Counterparts and Brutally Attack their Miss Uganda

I honestly do not understand African society’s standards of beauty; it’s so flawed, just like society.

Why am I saying this? Well because Ugandans took to social media to roast their new beauty queen who is absolutely stunning.

It seems that Ugandans have decided to replicate our bad habit of pummeling people with nasty words and insults .Just like Wangui Gitonga who was crowned miss Kenya 2013, Leah Kalanguka found herself on the ugly side of social media as Ugandans trolled her for not having “looks fit for a Miss Uganda ” soon after she was crowned .The crown had barely landed on her head and people were already having angry outburst over her crowning calling her names so bad, that I cannot type them.

However Leah is undeterred by negative naysayers and has released a statement saying just that.

Here is her statement according to a Ugandan Blog:

“Social media is good. Positivity is good and negativity is good. We are in a free world (and) everyone is free to say what they want. I am here for a purpose. Lots of girls out there would like to be in my position. But for this year it’s me.”

“To me beauty is not how you look physically, (but) it’s what is inside you and what you show to the world. I will teach a lot of people what being Miss Uganda is all about; Self esteem and how to develop with people around you. I am ready to represent my country in miss world come December.”
