Despite not snatching the crown, Dr Keutlwile said the 56 days since her Miss Universe Botswana coronation had been incredible, and she was honoured to have represented the country on the international stage.

“This journey has been amazing, intense, demanding and sometimes overwhelming. But through it all I’m in awe of God’s unwavering love, he orchestrates seasons according to his perfect timing, and his plans are always greater than our own”, she said on her Facebook page.

Dr Keutlwile also extended her gratitude to the Miss Universe and Miss Universe Botswana, as well as her designers and the community at large for the support.

Still on her Facebook post, Dr Keutlwile said she was deeply thankful for the chance to inspire young children and connect with women from all walks of life during the Miss Universe journey.

She congratulated the crowned queen and her runners up.
