MBABANE – Personal presentation  can be ‘everything’ and  international 
beauty pageants take it very serious.
Mr Swaziland 2018/2019 contestant Emmanuel Sedum Agbenyegah has raised many
eyebrows with his hairstyle which will not qualify for Mr World  if he happens
to win  the Mr Swaziland title.
The 18-year-old contestant, who is also  a well known rapper having made it to
the ‘King of  Hip Hop Magazines’ South Africa’s  HYPE Magazine, was
revealed last Friday among other eight contestants which have joined the pageant
being led by Linda Chester.
However, the fact that he been chosen as a contestant among the nine does not
mean that he will be a finalist as auditions are still ongoing.
The public though went on a ull social media frenzy wanting to know how he was
even allowed to be part of the pageant , especially since 2018 is year where
Pageant SD promised that all national pageants would have the King or Queen
represent the country internationally.
The contestant’s hair do, which is a fade inspired by dreadlocks, is not a
norm in pageants. It is definitely a big no for  the Mr World pageant.
According to international standards issued by Mr World, presentation in
contestants is key.

Hair is preferred short and well combed to set the bar for other men in the
world. The last Mr Swaziland to partake in the Mr World pageant was Bonelele
Makhanya who had a short brush cut.
