Malawi beauty models reject ‘whores’ tag

Beauty models in Malawi have protested that their reputations continue to be badly damaged by the negative perception by some sections of the society that portray them as if they sell themselves for sex.

Vanessa Chiutsi and Tunosiwe Mwakalinga, first and second princesses of this year’s Miss Blantyre have since called for a mindset change, saying “beauty models are not whores but partners in development.”

Mwakalinga said: “In fact, modelling is just like any other career that ought to be treated with dignity.”

The Princesses were speaking during their official unveiling ceremony as brand ambassadors of Premier Bus Service (PBS) on Friday.

They expressed concern that the beauty models were labelled “whores” because some others who were in the industry before had misbehaved, saying modelling is a professional career and girls have ethics.

“There is need for mindset change. People need to know modelling girls have good morals,”Chiutsi said.

Chiutsi said parading in bikini or miniskirt flaunting their fresh is part of the pageant trade and does not reflect loose morals.

She said “to mess up in life is a personal choice” and that can apply to anyone and not necessarily models.

Some organisers of Malawian beauty pageants both local in abroad are said to be denting the industry for their exploitation of the models by using them and even not paying their prizes.

  1. I think it is extremely offensive to call these respectable girls “whores”.
    Even if one does not subscribe to the idea of “beauty contests” because of standards of body covering, or lack thereof, it is extreme to call the participants such demeaning terms.
    These girls, especially the winners, deserve scrutiny, yes. But they do not deserve the hatred.
    We can comment on how pretty or not-pretty they are; how their attire fits them; on the quality of their step on the catwalk, and what have you. But NOT calling them “whores”.
    This is unacceptable, and really uncivilized.

  2. ngati siinu mahule nanga ndinu ndani ? you are worse than prositutes period Mahule otha maplan/osowa msika fuck you.look at you

  3. ngati siinu mahule nanga ndinu ndani ? you are worse than prositutes period Mahule otha maplan/osowa msika fuck you.

  4. Who cares? If you are beautiful, do you need someone to tell you that? Nonsense, most of you are whores indeed. Good women are here with us. We married them, not because they run on beauty contest, rather their character.

  5. I wonder what defines a whore, because from where I stand, every beautiful woman who happen to attract more men and inspire more women according to Malawian perception is a whore. The ironic part or should I say hypocritical part of it though is that every woman aspire to be beautiful than the rest, the bleaching of skin speaks in volumes, and every man fancy a beautiful woman. In my opinion a whore is any one who exchange money for sexual favours, or any married woman having an extra marital affair. but like I said, this is just my opinion and I am entitled to it.

  6. Kodi ma handsome-fe mudzatiganizira liti?

    Mungolimbana mkuwombera m’manja mahulewa pomwe ma handsome ngati ife tikugwetsesa dovu achakongwe m’makwalamu !

  7. When malawians will stop abusing the whores, do you know that this is a professional career? These assholes have chosen their life style and if you can make it just fuck them, warning “they are so hot bewere of leaving your wife”.

  8. Jst accept that uare whores, palibe chokana apa. Bwanji mmasusana ndi bible limene limati muzimvele mozipatsa ulemu. Inu mumakonda kuzimvula kumaonetsa malo obisika. Stupid

  9. Liness Moorr,clarify what it means in parading before people naked symbolize ? What’s the aim behind this ? Who continues in pursuing this diabolical behaviour ? What are we trying to impart in our young girls ? Are we parents happy condoning this idea ? Does nudity symbolize beauty ? If proper dressing code has failed, simply abandon this malpractice. Stop it.

  10. if you’re not whores why are most of you fucking sugar daddy’s or you prefer to be called slut’s ……,
    some of you are in a relationship with a man old enough to be you’re father just because of money……..

    according to survey 92% of models world wide are whores .

  11. NDAKATULO
    Ndinu mahosha
    Mukamayenda ngati mphaka
    Nugwedeza mbino yanu mpaka
    Mwatotetsa yathu iyo nkhaka
    Dziwitsitsani maka maka
    Kuti ndinu mahosha

    Ndinu mahosha
    Mukamaonetsa zi mpanga-mkaka
    Ntchafu pamtunda fwakafwaka
    Nagwetsa abusa Maliro Mlaka
    Dziwitsitsani maka maka
    Kuti ndinu mahosha

    Ambuye kumwamba anamdzala mthaka
    Yofewa koma dyabulosi anadzamsaka
    Namchotsa ungwiro namwali uja
    Namsandutsa iye kukhala hosha

    Anyani inu, ndinu mahosha.

  12. Ndinu mahosha inu. Takukweranikwerani Ife. You are public toilets. Aliyense amakodzeramo akafuna kukhuthura ukalo.

  13. Did you see in Uganda. Katundu yense pantunda is that not whore. Come on modelling is not naked. If you are beautiful, it does not mean exposing katundu. Look at that girl on the photo. Almost naked.

  14. Koma atsikana inu muli ndi ntchito ndithu. Kutereko mwati ife tikhulupilireni. Think of another country osati nyasalande.
