But the international model told a section of Ghanaian media at a press conference that numbers of models who turned up for the audition were nowhere near those of other countries her team  already visited countries.

She said about 80 ladies turned up for the Ghana auditions on Saturday July 20. Johannesburg audition had recorded over 800 hundred models just as Kenya. Mozambique also recorded over 400 hundreds models attending the audition.  

Ghana’s audition was held at the M Plaza Hotel in Accra. It is about some two weeks now that the one day auction ended and organizers are yet to announce names of models who will be given a chance to represent Ghana in the maiden edition, airing soon on free-to-air and pay-per-view television.
Oluchi was hopeful the Africa Next Top Model will grow, that was why she decided to tour the African continent to scout for models despite sponsorship challenges.

Models at Ghana audition

The ANTM team will in the coming days announce who among the lot has made it. Recording takes off in South Africa from August.

“We chose South Africa to host the competition because considering the African continent, South Africa is about the only country with a well-structured fashion industry and very busy one because almost every province holds its own Fashion Week”, Oluchi said on why South Africa was chosen to host the reality show.

Africa’s Next Top Model is the African extension of the very popular of America’s Next Top Model franchise owned by Tyra Banks.

Angola Dental Health Challenges

(Post from visiting doctor to CEML, Dr. Nicholas Comninellis)

What's the importance of dental care? This child arrived at Lubango Evangelica Medical Center, in Angola of southern Africa, with an abscess draining from under his chin, and with infection racing down his neck and into the chest. The source of his infection? A tooth abscess. The risks of his infection? Loss of his jaw and even death. Fortunately his case my esteemed colleague, Steve Foster, drained the infection and today on examination this sad face is only for show. He's well on the way to recovery. But Angola - like all low-resource nations - has few dentists and concepts of oral hygiene are poorly grasp. Who among you would like to take on this challenge?

Leila Djansi Escapes Death On Birthday

Actress Lynn Whitfield and Leila Djansi 

Director Leila Djansi on the night of Wednesday July 17, revealed on social network facebook how she narrowly escaped death whilst she was driving on the Accra-Tema motorway

 She said the car in which she was travelling nearly got involved in a fatal accident the same day she was celebrating her birthday.
Below is Leila’s narration of what really happened: “My Testimony! God saved me from a near fatal accident barely 3 hours ago! Today is my birthday. And after this miracle, I'm convinced indeed he'll keep his angels charge over me. Driving from Accra to Ho to also see my best friend who gave birth today, two cars on the motorway were acting kinda [kind of] funny so I thought to brake and give them room to play. Upon stepping on my breaks, my car started to spin, doing a 360, I felt it ready to tip over. Somehow I felt so calm, in that same calm and peace I said two words: ‘Jesus’, ‘Jesus’.
Next thing, the car stopped. Facing the on coming cars. Believe this, the road was virtually clear. I even had time to take a deep breath, swing the car around and drive a few feet and parked. I called Ama K Abebrese and she prayed with me for about 10 minutes and said drive. I was shaking but I still had that peace. I got to Ho safe and in time!! Who says God cannot part the red sea and hold the waves for his children?
Indeed, he that keepeth me does not slumber nor sleep. He keeps his angels charge over me. A thousand fall to my right and 10 thousands to my left, with only my eyes, would I see the end of the wicked! For thus says the LORD: “Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken, and the prey of the tyrant be rescued, for I will contend with those who contend with you, and I will save your children. A mighty mighty mighty fortress is my God! I want to keep writing this, exalting and thanking this rock of ages! Join me say thank you Jesus! Ama, Aunty Mabel Germaine, Narki, Uncle Ben, thank you guys so much for checking on me all the way!”
