Local hunk eyes continental glory
As Covid-19 continues to leave its ugly mark on the planet, a local model is hoping his beauty will bring some much-needed joy to Batswana.
27-year-old Edison Diako will jet off for Cote D’Ivore at the end of March to take part in one of the continent’s most prestigious male beauty pageants, Mister Africa International.
Should the Maun man – known as Black Muse in the modelling world – emerge victorious in West Africa, it would mark the pinnacle of a career that began six years ago.
“I have always seen myself as a muse from an early age. However, it was not until 2015 that I had my first professional gig as a model. I received an inbox from a photographer named Raymond Geoffrey for collaborative work and I learnt model etiquette, branding and styling from him,” regaled the dreadlocked Diako with a disarming smile.
