The Standard, 27-May-2012: Majestically, Terry Mungai the Miss World, Kenya, franchise director and Ashley’s CEO strutted to the podium and after a minute of deafening dramatic suspense announced the winner. “The winner is….. Shamim Nabil,” she read out. Amidst confusion, joy and disbelieve, the 20-year-old broke into tears as the auditorium joined in jubilation with scores screaming and applauding the new beauty queen. Shamim, the Mombasa-born aviation student, waved at the star-studded crowd and looked up to heaven as if to thank her maker. Her childhood dream had come true and with the crown came a cash reward of Sh1million among other enviable goodies. As a queen on the throne, she glittered exalted as the magnificently dressed outgoing Miss World Kenya, Susan Anyango, and Miss World, Ivian Sarcos, joined to crown her the new Miss Kenya title. Minutes before her crowning, Emma Zanelle and Rachel Mahinda had been crowned first and second runners up, respectively.
