This morning marked a truly special occasion as Miss Botswana 2025 2nd Princess, Girly Bone Kookilwe made a proud return to her beloved home village of Molepolole. The visit was not just a homecoming, but a meaningful reconnection with the community and traditions that helped shape her into the remarkable young woman she is today.
Upon her arrival, Girly was welcomed with warmth and admiration by the elders of Molepolole. The highlight of her visit was her introduction to Bo Mme ba Kgotla and Mothusa Kgosi, an encounter that was both humbling and deeply emotional. It was the first time Girly had the honor of presenting herself in this formal and traditional setting as a crowned Princess and the significance of the moment was not lost on her.
With grace and humility, Girly shared her gratitude for the support she has received from her community throughout her journey. She acknowledged how the values instilled in her in Molepolole, respect, resilience and unity have guided her path and continue to inspire her as she serves as an ambassador for Botswana.
The Miss World Botswana organization is proud to witness and celebrate moments like these, where our royalty returns to the embrace of their communities, paying homage to the cultural heritage that binds us together as a nation. Girly’s visit remained all present of the importance of staying connected to one’s roots, no matter how far life’s journey may take you.
As the celebrations continued, there was a shared sense of pride and joy among the villagers, who expressed their blessings and well-wishes for their Princess.
The day stands as a testament to the enduring bond between Botswana’s royalty and its people, a bond built on mutual respect, tradition and the collective hope for a brighter future.
