LAST year, the organisers of the Miss Ghana pageant, Sparrow Productions Limited announced that the winner of the 2007 contest will drive home a brand new Jaguar saloon car A Jaguar? Yes, a Jaguar!
Well, 34 days from today, specifically on March 2, 2007, this year’s queen will be crowned at the State House as part of activities marking Ghana’s 50th Independence Anniversary and the question on the lips of the public is; will the jubilee queen get the Jaguar?
The Mirror put the same question to the head of the Miss Ghana organising team and Managing Director of Sparrow Productions, Shirley Frimpong-Manso, to which she said frantic efforts were being made to get a Jaguar for the jubilee queen and added that at the appropriate time word on the prize car will be made public.
Fairllop International Limited, the local sales agents for Jaguar and Rover cars in Ghana supported last year’s pageant with a Rover car and there are expectations that they may “drop” a Jaguar for the queen this time round.
Meanwhile, the Jubilee Miss Ghana pageant dubbed “Miss Ghana@50” has been launched in Accra.
Miss Frimpong-Manso told guests at the launch that “sustaining the Miss Ghana pageant has not been easy; we have had our fair share of controversies as have been the norm since the crowning of Martha Vroom in 1967”.
“Yet we continue in our stead and shall persist in our quest to empower young women of Ghana to believe in themselves and give back to the society that has made them who they arc.” she added.
The out-going Miss Ghana, Irene Dwomoh said the role she had played as Miss Ghana had changed her life and “for me it is going to be a lifetime experience. I may not be the 50th Anniversary queen but I will have the singular honour of crowning her”.
The Chief executive Officer of the Ghana@50 Secretariat, Dr Charles Wereko Brobby expressed the hope that the pageant will add colour and splendour to the country’s Golden Jubilee celebrations.
