Ugandan president asks newly-crowned Miss World Africa to stop wearing weaves

Muzukulu Quiin Abenakyo, the current Miss Uganda, who was recently crowned Miss World Africa, paid a courtesy call to the Ugandan President, Yoweri K Museveni, at State House, Entebbe.

Quiin had just returned to Uganda following her success at the Miss World pageant and she met with her president.

His advice to her during their meeting yesterday was that she should stop wearing weaves and flaunt her natural hair.

Museveni tweeted after their meeting:

    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.
