Thandi Chisi is the reigning Miss Malawi. But it’s her first runner-up, Ireen Navicha, who is representing Malawi at Miss World 2026. The Miss Malawi Organisation has given two reasons for the switch - age and other issues around the competition. But there’s more to the story than that. We break down what happened, the disputed claims and why questions remain over the decision. 🎤 Presenter: Chiamaka Enendu 🎞️ Edited by Jenna Abaakouk Subscribe: http://bit.ly/subscribetoafrica Website: https://www.bbc.com/africa Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bbcnewsafrica/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/bbcafrica/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bbcafrica/
