Pink Diamonds to hold breast cancer gala

PINK Diamonds International, which is run by model Sphiwe Benasho, will next Saturday, 21st november , hold what it is calling the Pink Cancer Benefit Gala at the Hotel InterContinental in Lusaka that is meant to raise awareness on breast cancer.
The agency, which is a models club and a direct link to events, international beauty pageants, fashion shows and commercials models, last week conducted auditions at Chrismar Hotel where it recruited models for the pink gala.
Pink Diamonds was looking for 15 professional runway models, 15 beauty queen title holders and 50 upcoming models to be trained into professional models.
