Atong Demach of South Sudan has won the Miss World Africa Beauty Pageant. The
finals of this year’s Miss World beauty pageant have been held in the
northeastern Chinese mining city of Ordos, Inner Mongolia, located on the edge

Represented at the world stage this year by the ever gorgeous and
stunning Atong Demach, South Sudan managed to create history by winning the
coveted Miss World Africa prize, also known as the “African Continental Queen

Demach,
who turned 24 this year (16th June, 1988), also won the “Miss World
Top Model” prize, a feat that contributed to her gradual progression into the
list of top finalists.
At
the Dongsheng Fitness Center Stadium venue, Atong mesmerized the wide array of
global audience seated, as well as million others who watched through a

for her, with cheeky ease, placing a respectable fourth position, and bringing
the world’s attention to the country she represents.
