MEET MISS UGANDA 2014 ALSO A BIG TIME FARMER Meet Leah Kalanguka a mushroom and poultry farmer who has been crowned Miss Uganda following a major re-branding of the annual beauty pageant, now designed to promote agriculture in the east African nation. Leah Kalanguka, 23, beat off 19 other finalists after a competition that saw the glamour of the catwalk ditched for an army-sponsored boot camp on a farm, where contestants had to milk cows and work with goats and sheep. Kalanguka, who has studied computer engineering and science at Makerere University in Kampala, where she lives, said she was “so happy” and “overwhelmed” to be crowned Miss Uganda – which saw her win a small car. “I did not expect this to happen,” gushed the winner. Organisers said the top finalists will eventually be used to market produce including potato flour, mango juice, cornflakes and honey. Congratulations to Leah Kalanguka, we wish her all the best in her new fame and opportunities.
