WINDHOEK-There is nothing that can stop local beauty, Minsozi Kompeli, it seems when it comes to her passion for modeling.
Popularly known as Minsozi, the young model who continues to make her marks in modeling circles was selected to represent Namibia at Miss Glam World, an international beauty pageant seeking to find talented women worldwide and to bring them together to learn from and teach another, about women empowerment.
