Mister Africa International is the foremost male pageant in continental Africa. It is oftentimes referred to as the “battle of Africa’s sexiest six packs” in the quest for the hottest and most desirable African male. From its ranks emerged top black models like Adonis O’Holi Williams Dabeat, Giuseppe Nkansah, Jaydon Anderson amongst others.
Now on its 4th edition, it
will be hosted outside of the UK where it was customarily held. Gaborone,
Botswana will host this year’s pageant for the first time in Africa at the
Grand Palm GICC on December 3, 2015. The Mister Africa International 2015
winner will take over the crown from last year’s winner Arnaldo Jose of Angola.
