Miss Malawi: ‘Yes I shoved Miss New Zealand’

She said she was in the same group with Miss New Zealand since all contestants were divided into groups of three.

“It’s a shame it had to happen that way but between us there are no hard feelings. We had contestants stepping on other dresses and falling over that is how hectic it was but the world couldn’t have seen this because it was backstage.

“All these were accidents that occur during the pageant,” said Mtegha whose roommate was Miss Botswana and that her close friends were Miss Nepal, Mongolia, Tanzania and Uganda.

Mtegha. who is currently in China and failed to come back home on Wednesday after she fainted at the airport leading to her missing the flight said:

“I am fine. It was a once off thing as I have never fainted before and this was due to exhaustion and lack of sleep. I must admit it takes a lot to prepare for the competition and my body just couldn’t take it anymore.”

She said that she fainted at the bathroom after she checked in and was getting ready to go to the boarding gate.

“I felt dizzy and wanted to go and wash my face that is when it happened. Malawians should not worry much as I am fine. I went to the Malawian Embassy here in Beijing and I am being hosted by the Malawian Bello family and I am very grateful to them,” said Mtegha.

Mtegha will be with the Bello family until her flight is rescheduled and she is not sure when will be home.
