Zimbabwe: New Miss Zimbabwe Assaulted and Robbed in Apparent Kidnap Bid

[European Knight]

THE new Miss Zimbabwe, Annie-Grace Mutambu, escaped an apparent kidnap attempt Friday night during which she was assaulted and robbed of a laptop and mobile phone.

The incident occurred in Harare's Craneborne suburb and relatives said the beauty queen was bruised and recovering at home.

Mutambu recently took over the poisoned Miss Zimbabwe chalice after Emily Kachote was dethroned over nude photos reportedly leaked by a former lover.

Kachote's predecessor was also mired in similar controversy.

Meanwhile, family members said Annie-Grace, who was crowned Friday, escaped what appeared to be a kidnap attempt a few hours later.

So? Isnt the Odyssey and Iliad (foundation of Western literature) about some hot beauty queen who was also kidnapped? When Paris did it to Helen of Troy, it was 'epic', but when a |Zimbabwean does it is is savage?
