I know, the news is very old, but it definitely worth sharing with Sheetudeep readers. Richa Adhia (Indian origin) was announced Vodacom Miss Tanzania 2007 on 1st of September, drawing mixed reactions from the audiences as some cheered, while others muttered words of disapproval.
She received the crown together with a brand new RAV 4 car worth 45m local currency with 8m cheque. Richa, who was dressed in white long dress, was asked about her favourite colour to which she responded ‘white’, explaining that the colour symbolized peace and cleanness for her.
Members of the jury were Agbani Darego (chairperson), Prashanti Patel, Jacqueline Ntuyabaliwe, Irene Madeje, Sophia Dianaku, Salum Kombo, Leons Mtauna, David Minja, Christian Masiaga and coordinator of the judges, Ramesh Shah.
Last year in 2006, She participated in “Beauty Queens of Tanzania” which is under Maria Sarungi Tsehai and won the Miss Earth Tanzania title which was held in August. She later represented Tanzania at the Miss Earth Pageant in Philippines and managed to get to the top five best in bikini in the first category.
Check BongoCelebrity.com for her interview. Here is the Google Cached Copy, if the link doesn’t work.
who made her miss Tanzania? were people blind, the girl is not wearing any makeup and not looking very beautiful. and the question asked to her was also very stupid.
I know and have seen Richa (Miss Tanzania 2007) on Sundays and i must admit she s gorgeous. Good on her to win! to start with, she has very beautiful toes. Just look at them and see. Interesting enough is that i almost told her about her feet but was so embarassed.
I love her feet.
ALL THE BEST GAL U DESERVE IT
Richa is really beautiful, excellent legline, beautiful eyes, lovely smile, articulated answers, and deer-like walk and well-balanced slim body. What more do we need.
Who made her Miss Tanzania?? Wow, you’re smart. Check out the panel of judges. CLEARLY she was elected Miss Tanzania by Tanzanians. The girl is not wearing much makeup because she doesn’t need it. If you have a problem with her representing Tanzania, maybe you should enter the beauty pageant next year? Oh, and don’t forget to wear your makeup (mask). I’m sure you’re going to need it.
GO RICHA!!
Hey my fellow Tanzanians we shud now change!! hii sio age ya kuangalia huyu mweusi huyu mweupe huyu wa kijani. What we need is someone who can represent our country well in the international arena…. nani hajui kama marekani ni chimbuko la talents na wenye talents sio wazawa? lets change our mindsets, lets focus on truth and not colours of our bodies…
Mimi ni mtanzania halisi nakutakia mafanikio Richa..
Bravo lucky gal…
ummm i think she is very ugly her nose is wayy to big… i think that Miss tanzania should embody what a REAL Tanzanian looks like someone whose ancestors are tanzanian not indian. go to ur pooor country in india and be miss india… she probably did that and was toooo ugly because a lot of indian girls are beautiful… she is just soooo ugly. if ur indian or arabic or anything other than black get OUT of my country and plz dont come back.
She is INDIAN.
She is not african, not black and not a true Tanzanian.
No black person born in INDIA would ever be considered anything but an animal, and a foriegn one.
All you who say how ‘beautiful’ she is are just obsessed with european ideas of beauty.
She only won because the judges were paid off, but that is only my personal belief.
When will black people stop worshiping those who look nothing like us?
Rehema,
I just read your comment!
I totally agree.
You will always find foreigners whereever black people are. They like making money off us and they like to be in positions of power over us, but they don’t like mixing with us.
They should all just go and leave us alone.
Jamani she s so beautiful , she was born and brought up here sasa what else do u want , does colour even matter? as long as she can represent tanzania at the world stage. wananchi lets start thinking at a global level , its no more the era of us discriminating between wahindi and waarabu , every tanzanian is equal.
RICHA is one of the most BEAUTIFUL TANZANIAN girls i have ever seen. She has a good personality and she deserved to win and thats why she WON. All u people who are writing against her are just jelous. But anyway she has WON and u guys can do nothing about it. I am Kenyan and i support her and always will. Well Done Richa, U ARE THE BEST. MO.
Richa..i saw u last sunday..i love ur toes..can i massage and hold ur toes?? PLEASE?? I love ur bare feet.
Hi Richa,
I’m here in Germany, the elder sister of Melchor Apur. I had
scanned all your activities and made me a lot of fun to see it. Keep going and enjoy the blessed life. I pray for all the
good works and successful business that you have.
Cheers!
