THREE southerners swept the Miss World Trinidad and Tobago 2021 leg of the competition on Sunday night by taking the top three spots.
Jeanine Brandt, parading as Miss Palmiste, was crowned by 2019 winner Tya Jane Ramey at the very intense competition, held at the Southern Academy for the Performing Arts, San Fernando.
Two other southern delegates, Manisha Moonilal, representing Marabella, and Elisheva Phillips, Miss San Fernando, were the first and second runners-up respectively. If for some reason Brandt is unable to fulfil her duties, Moonilal will step in and continue the reign.
