Ugandans have taken to social media to criticize the appearance of their newly crowned Miss Uganda 2014.
This incident bears resemblance to the experience of Miss Kenya 2013, Wangui Gitonga, who was a victim of intense cyberbullying by Kenyans on Twitter (KOT). At the time, Nairobi Wire reported that KOT hurled insults at her and the pageant organizers because they felt she was ugly.
Wangui Gitonga completed her one-year term, but the episode likely had a lasting impact on her self-confidence.
