Miss Universe Zimbabwe Roseanna Hall’s participation in the 75th edition of the international pageant is now uncertain after American visa challenges delayed her planned departure to Puerto Rico, raising questions about whether she will arrive in time for the competition and how the setback could affect her preparations.
Hall, who had been in South Africa for the past week, was scheduled to leave to join contestants from across the world.
However, American visa challenges have disrupted her travel plans, leaving her participation hanging in the balance.
Hall said she was still fighting to secure the necessary travel approval, insisting that her journey was not over.
“I was meant to leave for Puerto Rico to represent Zimbabwe at the 75th Miss Universe. Unfortunately, American visa challenges have delayed that journey, but the fight is not over,” she said.
The beauty queen also revealed that she was not alone, with some African contestants reportedly facing similar visa challenges.
Hall said she understood their frustration and sympathised with them, as efforts to secure approval continued through engagements with relevant stakeholders.
